Kim Kyung-yul, a member of the People Power Party’s emergency response committee, said in a phone call with Jin Joong-kwon, a special professor at Kwangwoon University, regarding his decision not to run in Seoul’s Mapo-eul in the upcoming general election, “There are personal reasons.” He denied the theory of ‘external pressure from the Yongsan Presidential Office’ that was raised by some.
Professor Jin said on CBS Radio’s ‘Park Jae-hong’s Bout’ on the 6th, “I called (Commissioner Kim) as soon as I heard the news (of his non-candidacy). “There is a problem at home, but it is difficult for me to talk about it,” he said.
In this broadcast, Professor Jin relayed in detail what Commissioner Kim revealed in the phone call.
First, Professor Jin said, “I persistently asked (Commissioner Kim) whether he was under pressure.” To this, Commissioner Kim is said to have responded, “Am I the kind of person who will give in if I am pressured?”, “Even if I am pressured, I can overcome it,” and “That is not the case.”
Professor Jin also said, “(Commissioner Kim) seems to have a strong will to continue serving as an emergency committee member,” and added, “He said he will continue to play roles in which he speaks bitterly.”
“(Ms. Kim Kun-hee) even said in relation to the Dior bag, ‘I will watch the President’s speech that will be broadcast tomorrow and I will definitely watch it,’” he said. “I will faithfully fulfill my role as the Red Team, but by declaring that I will not run for no reason, my role as the Red Team has been put on hold.” “I said there are some aspects,” he said.
Professor Jin said of Commissioner Kim’s remarks during the phone call, “I didn’t (declare not to run) because I was under pressure. I have a family story that is difficult to talk about right now. I am passionate about my role as a member of the emergency committee. After summarizing, “I will continue to criticize,” he said, “This is the correct answer.”
In addition, Professor Jin said, “It will be quite difficult for the People Power Party.” He continued, “If you say you are running for office, you can start a fight, but now there is nothing to fight about. “But you can’t close your mouth,” he said.
He added, “In the end, it worked out well. “The role of the red team is necessary, and the only person who can fulfill that role is emergency committee member Kim Kyung-yul,” he said. “If he is faithful to his role, it is not bad for the national power and not bad for the president.” However, he added, “It’s only bad for those who are trying to impress the first lady and the strange people who use the conflict to pursue their own politics.”
Previously, Commissioner Kim announced on the 4th that he would not run as he was embroiled in controversy over Emergency Response Committee Chairman Han Dong-hoon’s private practice. As a result, the suspicion of ‘external pressure from the President’s Office’ arose along with the interpretation that the conflict between the President’s Office and the party was in the process of being resolved.
On the 5th, Committee Member Kim stated, “I have never received a message from the President’s Office, either officially or unofficially,” and Chairman Han also called the theory of external pressure “an incorrect interpretation.”
