Yoo Ui-dong Holds Campaign Dissolution Ceremony… Celebrates Victory with Camp Officials Mudslinging in the Pro-Ruling Bloc Amidst a Five-Way Race… Yoo Ui-dong Calls It a "Cruel May" Becomes a "Four-Term Representative from the Capital Region"… "Will Always Serve with a Beginner's Mindset" [Anchor] People Power Party Representative-elect Yoo Ui-dong, who dramatically succeeded in returning to Yeouido, held a campaign dissolution ceremony to share the joy of victory. Cho Kuk, the candidate for the Innovation Party who fell to a "shocking third place," stepped down from his position as party leader and began a period of self-reflection. Reporter Kim Da-yeon reports. [Reporter] A smile never leaves the face of People Power Party Representative-elect Yoo Ui-dong of Pyeongtaek-eul, who attended the campaign dissolution ceremony. "Go, Yoo Ui-dong!" Having been on edge amidst a five-way race, particularly the mudslinging in the pro-ruling bloc, the joy is doubled. Describing it as a truly cruel May, he pledged to serve with a renewed sense of purpose, not taking the weight of being a four-term representative from the metropolitan area lightly. [Yoo Ui-dong / People Power Party Member-elect for Gyeonggi Pyeongtaek-eul: I think this is the first time an event has felt so sweet yet simultaneously heavy.] Rallying for Yoo Ui-dong's role is growing both inside and outside the party. Given his image as a reformist conservative often described as pro-Yoo Seong-min, his past experience as Policy Committee Chairman and Director of the Yeouido Institute, and his connections with the pro-Yoo Dong-hoon faction, rumors of his candidacy for Floor Leader are gaining traction; however, he himself remains tight-lipped for now. *Saying it was a truly cruel May, he vowed not to take the weight of being a four-term representative from the metropolitan area lightly and to serve with a renewed sense of purpose.* [Yoo Ui-dong / People Power Party Member-elect for Gyeonggi Pyeongtaek-eul (SBS Radio 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show'): Rather than winning the election because of my exceptional personal capabilities, I was chosen because there was a need for at least minimal checks and balances. Therefore, I think it is right to address that aspect first.] While Member-elect Yoo Ui-dong was dreaming rosy dreams, the pan-ruling bloc received a harsh bill. In the recent Pyeongtaek-eul by-election, the combined vote share of the Democratic Party and the Cho Kuk Innovation Party was 56.01%. The Democratic Party is filled with deep regret, saying that competing among allies only benefited others. [Cho Seung-rae / Secretary General of the Democratic Party: It seems that competition between candidates of the same color has resulted in another party gaining an advantage. It is very regrettable.] With a 'shocking third place,' Candidate Cho Kuk shouldered the responsibility for the defeat by resigning from his position as party leader. It has been half a year since he was elected at the national convention following the special pardon on Liberation Day. Representative Cho, who posted and then deleted a photo of a sunrise on social media, stated that he felt he was lacking and would prepare for the next step while undergoing a period of self-reflection. Candidate Kim Yong-nam, who suffered a shocking defeat under the Democratic Party banner, also issued a message saying he would calmly consider how he can repay the support he has received in the future. This battle in Pyeongtaek-Eul has become a symbolic showdown that will determine not only whether individuals enter the National Assembly but also their political comebacks and retreats, and, on a larger scale, the political landscape itself.
