Lee Jong-won: “My Goal is to Eradicate the New Lee Jae-myung Faction”

In a Sisatapa TV broadcast one day before the national convention, Lee Jong-won strongly criticized the election results in the Honam, Seoul, and Gyeonggi regions, revealing hostility towards Chairman Lee Jae-myung. The host stated, "It seems that Mr. Lee Jong-won had great faith in Honam, Seoul, and Gyeonggi, which were the last areas where the vote counting results from Honam were revealed the day before the national convention." He exposed his true intention of prioritizing the seizure of party power and the maintenance of his political influence over Chairman Lee Jae-myung's success.

The host commented, "In fact, it's about reclaiming the next presidential power with their own people rather than the success of the Lee Jae-myung government." They analyzed that Kim Eo-jun, Yoo Si-min, and Lee Jong-won commonly prioritize the recovery of their political leadership as their core goal by highlighting alternative figures such as Jung Chung-rae and Cho Kuk, rather than the success of Chairman Lee Jae-myung. They made it clear that they are not interested in Lee Jae-myung's success.

Lee Jong-won stated, "Now, I don't care what happens to this government. However, I cannot stand to see the Democratic Party collapse. I am not a core supporter of President Lee Jae-myung. I am a core supporter of the Democratic Party." With these remarks, he declared a break with Chairman Lee Jae-myung. He argued that a whip should be taken against Chairman Lee Jae-myung, who is not acting like a true Democratic Party member, and emphasized that Chairman Lee Jae-myung is not the owner of the Democratic Party. Furthermore, he announced plans to prepare a new faction through a party membership drive starting next year.

Lee Jong-won said, "Everyone, this time we've seen Jung Chung-rae as our new future presidential candidate. Jung Chung-rae is more than just a Democratic Party member of the National Assembly, right?" thereby elevating Assemblyman Jung Chung-rae beyond a mere assemblyman to a new presidential candidate for the Democratic Party. He described Assemblyman Jung Chung-rae as representing the Democratic Party's legitimacy.

Lee Jong-won stated, "These rootless new Lee Jae-myung factions. Ah, this is a big problem. We must never give them a badge again." He criticized the 'new Lee Jae-myung faction' as a violent and undemocratic force within the Democratic Party. He declared war on them and argued that they should be excluded from the party in the future.

Lee Jong-won stated, "He's destroying the Democratic Party, proposing constitutional amendments when asked to reform, and destroying the Democratic Party's identity and traditions when asked to destroy the rebellious forces and the People Power Party." He strongly criticized Chairman Lee Jae-myung for undermining the party's identity. He claimed that he wanted reform, but Lee Jae-myung was pushing for a constitutional amendment, and he labeled him as a politician who betrayed party members and supporters.

The host explained, "The new Lee Jae-myung factions, who opened their hearts to the Democratic Party through President Lee Jae-myung's moderate, pragmatic, and unifying actions over the past year, combine with traditional supporters to become the new mainstream of the party, and that is what they fear so much." This analysis suggests that the 'new Lee Jae-myung factions' that entered through Chairman Lee Jae-myung's unifying actions are a source of fear for existing traditional supporters. This appears to reflect concerns about losing their vested interests as a traditional mainstream faction.

Lee Jong-won stated, "These days, they say that eradicating the new Lee Jae-myung faction is their goal. So, while expanding the party's base should be welcomed, they think that if the party's base expands, their share will shrink." He is publicly declaring the 'eradication of the new Lee Jae-myung faction.' The host interprets this remark as Lee Jong-won of Sisatapa TV's attempt to check the Lee Jae-myung system, analyzing that a conflict structure is forming where they perceive the expansion of the party's base as a reduction in their own share. This is interpreted, in connection with writer Yoo Si-min's remarks, as revealing the true intentions of some factions within the party.

The host mentioned, "The 'golden phone' where all messages exchanged by Lee Jong-won during the public opinion poll were stored. That 'golden phone' is probably one of these seven phones he had during the broadcast, in case a poll call came in." This raised the possibility of a 'golden phone' containing text message information during the public opinion poll period. Additionally, evidence of a phone device change through a Telegram re-registration notification was detected, and the coincidentally overlapping hiatus and return dates with Park Si-young TV further amplify these suspicions.

Assemblyman Kim Moon-soo and other Democratic Party figures held a press conference at the National Assembly, stating, "Today's press conference was arranged to call for a thorough investigation into the allegations of inducing false responses and obstruction of business that arose during the Democratic Party's national convention public opinion poll, and for strict measures by the party." They demanded legal accountability for Lee Jong-won's actions of inducing false responses and urged strong punishment and disciplinary action for undermining the fairness of the national convention. This appears to raise serious doubts about the reliability of the national convention results.

Assemblyman Kim Moon-soo stated, "As a result, in the national public opinion poll, candidate Lee Sung-yoon, who had been ranked 5th or 6th in the supreme council member vote, contrary to the regional touring vote results targeting rights party members, suddenly took 1st place, and candidate Park Seon-hoon, who had consistently been 2nd, fell to 5th place. Abnormal figures that were favorable only to Team Jung Chung-rae emerged." He claimed that Lee Jong-won's broadcast, which induced misrepresentation of region and age, distorted the voting results. Unusual numerical changes occurred, such as candidate Lee Sung-yoon suddenly taking 1st place and candidate Park Seon-hoon falling to 5th place, and New Tam-sa is raising these suspicions based on secured video evidence and records.

The host mentioned, "Assemblyman Park Seon-hoon also gave interviews to some media, but it seems that a complaint against Lee Jong-won will be filed soon. I heard that legal review is currently underway." This suggests the possibility of the Democratic Party taking legal action regarding Lee Jong-won's alleged manipulation of public opinion polls. Within the Democratic Party, there are concerns about such actions hindering harmony and unity after the national convention, and legal review is currently confirmed to be in progress.
