"The president must end this fight himself"

This was revealed through reporter Choi Kyung-young's coverage, and a sense of crisis about the current political situation is being detected.

Issues surrounding a second term and judicial proceedings after the president leaves office are operating as the president's "complex." As supporters demand a second term, the president should publicly declare a line against it and express his resolve to become a successful president for five years.

The time has come to bring to a close the wasteful debate that has continued for more than six months. Reporter Choi Kyung-young stressed that showing dignity through a self-sacrificing decision is the only path to escaping this crisis and reaching true victory.

He argued against unconditional support that seems to elevate the president himself, and said it is wrong for people making absurd claims such as a second term to be treated as a phenomenon of "Yoo Jae-myung." He added that the message should calmly state that the president will abide by Korea's judicial procedures regarding trials before taking office, conveying that refusing to flatter is the way to help the president.

Reporter Choi Kyung-young said that, judging by the current mood, many believe the president will not issue the proposed message and will "just brush it off." Comments expressed disappointment at his unwillingness to let go of a second term, such as "You must really want to amend the constitution to run again," and "It's not honest." These criticisms are coming from Democratic Party and progressive camp figures, not from People Power Party supporters.

Division within the fan base is deepening. Supporters have clearly split into the "Pro-Lee Myung-bak channel" and the "Reform Core channel," and politics appears entirely confined to particular communities. This week this division has been especially strong, with personal attacks intensifying within communities and a mobilized fandom phenomenon in which citizens fight directly with one another.

This is analyzed as accelerating political regression.

Politics is degenerating into a war of attrition among truly highly engaged voters, a "dogfight." On online platforms such as YouTube, competition is intensifying to line up behind one side and become a hero of one's camp, and this division has continued for a week.

In a national contest, respected elders must step in as mediators, and if the problem is left to the public-opinion market, there are concerns that political attrition will deepen further.

For the younger generation, unfamiliar with political ups and downs, this division has become a deep disappointment. Because young people tend to judge politics based on one or two experiences, this could become a real crisis for the Democratic Party through loss of support. A productive remedy to overcome this crisis is urgently needed.

A psychological division is widespread, with each side feeling a sense of loss and claiming to be the victim. As a result, supporters are rapidly gravitating toward channels favoring the Pro-Lee Myung-bak camp.

However, concerns have also been raised that if a new platform emerges, supporters will scatter and form their own fiefdoms. This suggests the political landscape could degenerate into a self-reliant arrangement resembling medieval lords.

The original spirit of the No Sa-mo (Nosamo) fan club was to avoid getting close to power while those in power held it. However, during the convention process, this legacy of the No Sa-mo has been politically consumed and its original spirit is disappearing. Critics argue that a politics relying on past names will lose the momentum needed to move toward the future.

It is pointed out that once this resolve and systematic competence are visible, lost support can be recovered. Recovering support requires organized effort, and rather than relying on past glory, the party must show it is fulfilling its present responsibilities. This is emphasized as an essential element for restoring the Democratic Party's trust and securing its future development.
