'Team Jeong Cheong-rae' Supreme Council Members, Warning Signs of 'New Watermelons' Emerge... Concerns of Harming Party Unity

Some Supreme Council members within the Democratic Party, known as 'Team Jeong Cheong-rae,' have been criticized for actions that undermine intra-party unity. A Newstamsa host noted that despite expressing acceptance of the Kim Min-seok leadership system, they were seen collectively walking out during actual votes. Supreme Council member Lee Seong-yoon, for example, did not attend a legislative committee meeting but appeared on YouTube, drawing criticism for prioritizing loyalty to a specific speaker over party unity for political purposes.

Newstamsa warned that some Supreme Council members risk becoming 'new watermelons' by enjoying the attention of conservative media. It pointed out that conservative media, such as Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, and Dong-A Ilbo, will continue to pay attention whenever they make remarks opposing Chairman Kim Min-seok or the President. It emphasized that if they speak out just for media exposure, they will eventually be swayed by the media, and must be careful not to provide fodder for conservative media to use as a tool for division.

Representative Jeong Cheong-rae's uncooperative attitude has also come under fire. His absence from major general assemblies after the national convention was noted, and during a general assembly to condemn Cho Dae, his tardiness created an uncomfortable scene. This has led to concerns within the party regarding his attitude towards legislative activities.

Criticism has been raised regarding the actions of some anti-Lee faction members within the Democratic Party who mocked a photo showing unity with the President. It was reported that some individuals described the Blue House luncheon photo as 'a disgusting photo where school bullies beat someone up and now pretend to want to get along.' Newstamsa emphasized that efforts for intra-party harmony after an election are natural political actions and pointed out that such mockery undermines party unity.

As expectations for the stabilization of the Kim Min-seok leadership system rise, the true nature of the forces attempting to destabilize it has been revealed. The People Power Party and conservative media desire to create discord within the Kim Min-seok system, and the remarks of 'Team Jeong Cheong-rae' Supreme Council members are being amplified and exploited as a tool for media division. Newstamsa analyzed that just as many people hope for the Kim Min-seok system to stabilize, there are also forces hoping for discord and signs of instability.
