Attention is focused on the level of future remarks by Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo, who was disciplined by the People’s Power Central Ethics Committee for’flood golf’ for’10 months suspension of party membership’.
In the meantime, since Mayor Hong has been evaluated as a ‘one-of-a-kind general’ and has been venomous without paying attention to the party, weight is placed on the analysis that he will continue to speak his mind regardless of the disciplinary results.
According to the passport on the 28th, Mayor Hong will not break his conviction regardless of the disciplinary outcome of the ethics committee and will continue to criticize the party leadership and the president as usual. As he is evaluated as the party’s presidential candidate, it is evaluated that he will not be discouraged by a single disciplinary action.
An official from the power of the people said, “It is true that Mayor Hong’s words and actions were wrong in the process of playing golf and explaining this,” regarding a series of processes leading to disciplinary results from Mayor Hong’s “heavy rain golf” controversy. It doesn’t look like it’s going to die or anything.”
The official said, “Mayor Hong is not going to run for the general election next year, and since he is a presidential candidate, this punishment will be a bit nerve-wracking, but it doesn’t seem to have a big impact.” At the same time, he added, “I wonder if after a certain period of time, I will say something bitter.”

Rep. Ha Tae-gyeong of People’s Power also insisted, “Due to the nature of Mayor Hong, I will speak out when the conditions improve a bit again” in relation to Mayor Hong’s disciplinary action for “10 months suspension of party membership.”
Rep. Ha appeared on KBS Radio’s ‘Choi Kyung-young’s Strongest Current Affairs’ on the 27th and said, “It is a kind of occupational disease, so if you go into silence mode, you are not Mayor Hong Joon-pyo.”
At the same time, he predicted, “Mayor Hong did not request a retrial or objection this time, but actually accepted it.”
Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun of People’s Power criticized the level of disciplinary action by the Ethics Committee as “excessive,” and at the same time said, “(To Mayor Hong) he is not one to be ashamed to have been disciplined for party membership for 10 months.”
Rep. Yoon appeared on KBS Radio’s ‘Joo Jin-woo Live’ and criticized the Ethics Committee’s disciplinary results, saying, “It will be the end of next year’s general election in 10 months from now.”
He said, “When party membership is suspended, it is usually beaten for 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years, but there is no case of hitting for 10 months.” He pointed out, “I am an asset of the party and an adult, so I have to do it until 10 months.” At the same time, he also analyzed that “(discipline) may increase Mayor Hong’s presence.”
Hong Joon-pyo, the mayor of Daegu, bows his head expressing regret at the press room on the 19th in relation to the controversy over ‘flood golf’. Mayor Hong said, “Although it did not violate the disaster response manual, we humbly accept the point that it was inappropriate in a situation where flood damage is a concern.” [사진 = 대구시 제공]
Mayor Hong himself also expressed his will not to stop speaking just because he was disciplined by the Ethics Committee.
On the night of the 26th, right after the ethics committee’s disciplinary decision, Mayor Hong said, “The right to speak is not suspended.” I didn’t,” he commented.
He also posted on his Facebook page, “I still have a long time of 3 years.” It is interpreted as meaning that he will prepare for the next presidential election without paying attention to the disciplinary action of the Ethics Committee this time.
However, there is also an interpretation that Mayor Hong’s range of motion may be narrowed according to this ethics committee discipline. As Mayor Hong, who had previously criticized the leadership of Kim Ki-hyun, it is an interpretation that the disciplinary action of the Ethics Committee is not an issue to be overlooked.
In addition, with less than a year left in the general election next year, it is analyzed that the suspension of party membership for 10 months could significantly reduce Mayor Hong’s influence in the phase of the next general election.
