About a year before the 22nd general election, former Democratic Party member Geum Tae-seop announced that he would push for the creation of a new party with the goal of winning 30 seats in the metropolitan area. Attention is focusing on how realistic the ‘third zone empowerment’ targeting the shaman class, which recently reached 30%, will be realized. On the morning of the 18th, at the first debate of the ‘Reflection and Search Forum for a Different Future’ (Reflection and Search) at the National Assembly Members’ Hall, Rep. Changdang) said he would walk. We will talk about it as soon as it is ready.” In the discussion presentation, “If a force capable of occupying about 30 seats, centered in the metropolitan area, emerges in the general election next year, it can become a driving force to change Korean politics from the bottom up.” I think that is the only way to change our politics.” In reflection and search, Congressman Geum Jeon, former People’s Power Emergency Response Committee Chairman Kim Jong-in, editor-in-chief Jeong Jong-kwon from the Democratic Labor Party and New Progressive Party, Han Seok-ho, secretary general of the Jeon Tae-il Foundation, who served as the head of the organization of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, and accountant Kim Gyeong-yul, who wrote ‘The Black Book of the Fatherland’. A bipartisan figure is involved. The so-called left-right aspirations of those who cross the left and right are “to present a way and prepare an answer for a couple who earns an average of 3.5 million won per month, beyond dividing sides and camp logic” (Rep. Geum Jeon). He said, “I have been in the Democratic Party and the election countermeasures committee for People’s Power Candidate Seok-yeol Yoon during the last presidential election, and I have helped Rep. Chul-soo Ahn’s 3rd Zone in the past. I came to this conclusion after going through a lot of such experiences,” he said. However, regarding the specific schedule for the establishment of the new party and the personnel to join, “According to what I have been involved in and observed in the 3rd zone movement since 2012, (I) do not seem to be in a hurry. (Creating a party) is a difficult path, and politicians share similar concerns, but it is difficult to actually break out.” Former chairman Kim Jong-in, who participated in the debate, said, “Since Rep. Geum Jeon is trying (to found a party) with courage, if I have the ability to help, I will try to help.” He also said, “If you look at the political world these days, I wonder what kind of new future plan can come from such a party.” I have no choice but to do it,” he said.
