Kim Min-seok: Firm Core Behind a Gentle Image, 'Outwardly Firm' Style
She analyzed that Kim clearly conveys his plans and designs, to the point that it is hard to interrupt his lengthy answers, and that this reflects deep thought and planning.
Kim Min-seok is seen as 'outwardly firm' with fast execution, Song Young-gil's appeal is 'Amor Fati,' and Chung Cheong-rae's key issues are his 'myriad faces' and 'hostile attitude.'
She analyzed that Kim clearly conveys his plans and designs, to the point that it is hard to interrupt his lengthy answers, and that this reflects deep thought and planning.
She explained that Song actively projects his charm and approaches many people in a friendly way. She added that although he has a general-like image on the surface, he is actually showing various charms at the convention.
Broadcaster Oh Yun-hye said Song Young-gil's friendly side was unexpected. She explained that for the high-involvement audience, including people who have recently entered politics, Song has always been seen as a fighter, mature and serious. However, she analyzed that his unpredictable behavior, such as eating raw onions, which shows his 'true self,' works as a twist of charm.
He noted that Kim's facial expression control often faltered in several places, and personally suggested that his face flushed red, which may have been a make-up failure. In contrast to Song Young-gil, who appeared composed and standout, Kim Min-seok was still not enough to give the impression that he could defend himself in any situation.
He said Chung's face was so shiny that he should have used blotting paper. He added that the make-up failure was on Chung's side, saying his face looked greasy.
He said Kim should aim for a weighty, reliable image, but in the debate he came across as somewhat sharp. He added that since victory was already expected and Song Young-gil played the role of a proxy, Kim would have been better off showing a more weighty and inclusive leader.
He analyzed that this is a critical crisis for the party and government, and that Kim may appear this way because of his earnest conviction that only his election can smoothly lead party-presidential relations and raise the government's approval ratings.
She described this as a trait of people who do a lot of work, and assessed that his attempt to work with less sleep during the campaign shows he has many things he wants to accomplish. She added that this is Kim's major strength.
Kim Min-seok was assessed as having room to earn trust because he appears to have many things he wants to do. It was suggested that if that impatience comes from enthusiasm for the work, the public should encourage him and give him the chance to show his ability. It was added that it is right to judge him after he has shown his ability.
Although this may look like an absurd act, it was analyzed as showing a mass psychology in which some people take it to mean 'he's going to do something.'
She explained that he is now showing aspects that were unpredictable when he was Chair of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee. She added that she is realizing lately that Chung is a figure with a thousand faces and ten thousand forms, meaning many different sides.
Jeong said that from then on he felt he had become a 'Bicheong' (a supporter of Chung).
It was pointed out that politicians usually greet and shake hands warmly even with people on the other side, but Rep. Chung Cheong-rae has never been seen doing so. Citing that even Rep. Han Dong-hoon greeted warmly people who would not consider him an ally, it was stressed that political training should take place through the election process.
As leader of the opposition, uniting one's own side, attacking opponents, and clearly distinguishing friend from foe can be useful. However, it was argued that such an attitude is inappropriate for the leader of a ruling party holding a majority of seats, who must run the state in partnership. It was especially emphasized as a problem for Chung Cheong-rae and Choi Min-hee as current ruling-party figures.
The point is that saying he is fighting 100 to 1 while claiming he has no allies, and that all panelists and media are on the other side, is inappropriate. Questions were raised about whether, despite having been party leader, he failed to build a circle of close lawmakers, media, and panelists.
It was suggested that politics should not be about having only 'my people,' and that he should build relationships with more people. This led to criticism that it relates to a politician's basic capacity.
It was evaluated as a statement that proves his own incompetence and is highly inappropriate for a politician.
The panelists agreed that the viewer seems to have seen the situation clearly.
Viewers were asked to buy many Sanspelsunbaek products, and it was stated that this would contribute to making Kyunghyang TV richer.
It also runs a 'Bigyowon Guarantee' that covers 120% of the difference if the subsidy is lower than competitors'.
