[YTN Radio <News Fighting, Bae Seunghee]> Please reveal that it's about the interview.

◆ Attorney Bae Seung-hee (hereinafter referred to as Bae Seung-hee): I'm Bae Seung-hee from News Fighting. Let's start the second part of the issue interview. Today, we are going to talk about the by-elections between the Democratic Party of Korea and the Cho Kuk Innovation Party. In this regard, we will talk to Hwang Un-ha, floor leader of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party. Are you here?

◇Hwang Un-ha, floor leader of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party (hereinafter referred to as Hwang Un-ha): Yes, hello.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Hello. The Cho Kuk Innovation Party and the Democratic Party of Korea have chosen Kim Kyung-ji of the Democratic Party as the single candidate for the head of Geumjeong-gu, Busan. It's hard to unify. Can meaningful results be achieved in Busan, the national power garden?

◇Hwang Un-ha: Yes, congratulations on being elected as a single candidate for Kim Kyung-ji of the Democratic Party. It is regrettable that Yoo Jae-sung of the China Innovation Party would have been much more competitive in the finals, but Kim Kyung-ji will also be able to beat the People's Power candidate in this gold politics. That's how I believe it. First of all, since the unification was successful, this election structure was clearly organized into an election structure that was judged by the Yoon Suk Yeol regime. Of course, the Cho Kuk Innovation Party will do its best to help Kim Kyung-ji, the single candidate. The public sentiment on the floor that I went to Geumjeong several times was able to confirm the public sentiment of Geumjeong residents who were angry about the Yoon Suk Yeol regime's judgment theory. So in this election, although Busan Geumjeong is an area with a strong conservative tax. In Busan, conservative parties were elected seven times in eight previous elections for district chiefs. That's why it's a difficult election, but the support for opposition candidates will be much higher than in the last general election. In a few months, the public opinion of Geumjeong residents about the judgment of the Yoon Suk Yeol regime has risen dramatically. This was confirmed.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Yes. However, Han Dong-hoon, the representative of the People's Power, said about this unification. He criticized that he would do a unification show for political collusion. How did you hear this criticism?

◇Hwang Un-ha: I think CEO Han Dong-hoon learned politics wrong. So, I thought of politics as a show, and I've been doing politics as if I'm a show until now. I feel a bit sorry whenever I see it now because I learned politics wrong, but when a young man is starting to learn politics properly, he was a special prosecutor who had been living under the illusion that he could make public opinion by playing the media while he was in the prosecution, and he thinks that politics is the same, so he seems to be mistaken that he can shape public opinion as much as he wants with a show. So, everything seems to be a show to Han Dong-hoon, who thinks of politics as a show, as if only the Buddha is seen in the eyes of the Buddha and only the pig is seen in the eyes of the pig. I hope CEO Han Dong-hoon learns politics properly. He seems to have misunderstood politics by imitating a politician, even by imitating an old-fashioned politician.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: I see you're imitating a politician. There is no unification in Honam right now. If this Cho Kuk Innovation Party wins, there will be a great threat to the leadership of Chairman Lee Jae-myung. Do you have any Honam strategy?

◇Hwangwoonha: Honam is not an area to be unified as you said. There should be a single candidate against the power of the people because the election must be held in the form of a judgment of the government only in Busan, but in reality, there is little possibility that a candidate for the power of the people will be elected in Honam, right? In one region, there were no candidates for the power of the people, so in the end, it becomes a competition between the Cho Kuk Innovation Party and the Democratic Party in good faith and who wins the hearts of Honam voters. Here, the Cho Kuk Innovation Party has two strategies. One is that voters in Honam have a willing choice other than the Democratic Party in Honam, which results in the development of Honam politics and the development of Honam region. So, please choose the Cho Kuk Innovation Party this time. Just because you choose the Cho Kuk Innovation Party does not mean that you will do a good job for the people, so I want you to choose Cho Kuk Innovation with the idea that it will help the development of Honam region and political development. The other is, as you know, the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, a party in which all of its members are proportional representatives. So if one county governor comes out, if one county governor from the Cho Kuk Innovation Party comes out, how much interest and support will all 12 lawmakers show for the development of the military? So if you choose the Cho Kuk Innovation Party rather than a big party like the Democratic Party of Korea, much more interest in supporting love will be delivered. I'm going to appeal this well.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Yes. You said that it is an alternative party in Honam, but this will affect the governance structure of Honam. In the future, other by-elections and future general elections are expected to expand their position, so do you expect that?

◇Hwang Un-ha: Of course, isn't the Cho Kuk Innovation Party also a party aiming for a popular party? That's why I want to clearly show the presence of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party to voters in Honam through this election. So, again in Honam, it is desirable for the Democratic Party of Korea and the Cho Kuk Innovation Party to compete in good faith, so isn't there a local election next year? During the local elections, the Cho Kuk Innovation Party will participate in the local elections and try to win the hearts of Honam voters, and the starting point will be this by-elections. That's what I'm thinking. And looking further afield, Korean politics is now avoiding the backwardness because of the two-party system because of the harmful effects of the two-party system. It's a structure where you get a lot of distrust from the political people, so if you attack other parties, you only get the reflective benefits. Most of the problems that our country's politics have now come from the two-party system. As a third party, the Cho Kuk Innovation Party should play a role in changing our country's politics to a multi-party system. That, too, is the start of this by-elections. I'm looking at it like this.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: But actually, representative Cho Kuk said this again. We will compete fairly in Honam and then cooperate thoroughly with the Democratic Party to change the government. This will push CEO Lee Jae-myung again. The Democratic Party will cooperate. Isn't this what it means? In the past, it could be absorbed like the People's Party.

◇Hwangwoonha: No. It is not meant to be absorbed, and the words of the representative of the country will naturally cooperate and cooperate with the Democratic Party in the presidential election, that is, the change of government. Representative Cho Kuk also said this in the media in an interview. If I was in a situation like a Sim Sang Jung candidate, I would not choose to complete the race. I've expressed this before, but it's a little too early to predict what the presidential election will look like in the next few years.If Lee Jae-myung becomes the opposition candidate, the Cho Kuk Innovation Party will of course actively push Lee Jae-myung to change the government. That's so obvious. Would the Cho Kuk Innovation Party want the people to come back to power?

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Is there a possibility that representative Cho Kuk will come out as a presidential candidate?

◇Hwangwoon-ha: That's why I told you earlier. It's hard to tell you about the situation now whether Lee Jae-myung will come out as a presidential candidate or not because it's a matter of years from now, but if the current situation continues, such as the number one approval rating, and the number one solid approval rating, the Cho Kuk Innovation Party will fully support Lee Jae-myung if Lee Jae-myung becomes a presidential candidate. That's what you said now.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Okay. There's another mention of CEO Han Dong-hoon. Representative Han Dong-hoon criticized the competition between the Democratic Party of Korea and the Cho Kuk Innovation Party in Honam by making the election an auction. If you could tell me something about this.

◇Hwangwoon-ha: Everything you express is uncharacteristic, not like the representative of a political party. I think I talked about giving out subsidies if the candidates who are honored are elected. But all the candidates in that honor actually came up with this policy because it's a policy that fits well with the local situation. And it is an ideal policy budget to re-support local residents with local resources. In addition, CEO Han Dong-hoon would like to ask if there is any alternative to the policy to guarantee basic income in the region, which is suffering from the outflow of the population and the outflow of young people, especially young people.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Okay, I got it. This time. Let me ask you about the accident. Since you are a former police officer and a former police officer, we would like to ask you something, but former President Moon Jae In's daughter, Moon Da-hye, was caught drunk driving at the level of revocation of her license. The situation of the signal violation was also detected. Isn't drunk driving a problem itself? How do you see this situation?

◇Hwangwoon-ha: Is there anything I should look at from what perspective? Drunk driving accident No one is equal before the law, and when drunk driving is done according to the law, and that's the daughter of a former president, so is there anything else that should be looked at?

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Yes. When you were in the Democratic Party, didn't the Democratic Party make a strong stance on drunk driving because you wanted to raise the punishment for drunk driving? Is it just a matter of moving on?

◇Hwangwoon-ha: No, we're not moving on about drunk driving right now. Wouldn't it be caught and carried out according to the law? What else do you need to say about that? Who said Moon Da-hye shouldn't be punished?

◆ Bae Seung-hee: You can be punished.

◇Hwangwoonha: Isn't that too obvious? It's according to the law, and no one in Moon Jae In will say so, and according to the law, drunk driving is a routine regardless of social command. It's almost mechanically processed. There will be no one to say, "Shut the door on him. Please treat him in a special way." The view of trying to make itself an issue is rather abnormal. What's the issue? This is

◆ Bae Seung-hee: But socially, singers and celebrities are criticized a lot for drunk driving, and singers are also punished, but drunk driving is a murder in the Democratic Party. Since the president also said it, we asked on behalf of the listener.

◇Hwangwoon-ha: Celebrities and others are more likely to criticize drunk driving because celebrities and others should set an example, especially as a public figure. That's why when such people drink and drive, they are more socially criticized. Leaders and celebrities also have to endure social criticism for drunk driving.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: But since Moon Da-hye is also the daughter of the former president, there can be such criticism.

◇Hwang Un-ha: But has anyone said that the Democratic Party of Korea should not punish anyone because I don't know the details?

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Are you saying that we can punish them because they are equal before the law?

◇Hwangwoonha: What kind of special issue does this make?

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Okay. It's an inspection from today, so I'll ask you about the inspection. As the Cho Kuk Innovation Party reignites suspicions of preferential treatment by the Kim Gun-hee family in connection with the change of the end point of the Yangpyeong Expressway in Seoul, it will investigate the case through a parliamentary audit and a special prosecutor. That's what I said. How are you getting ready?

◇Hwangwoon-ha: Yangpyeong Expressway is a really ridiculous change to the previous Yangpyeong Expressway. This is how Korea's KDI has set the Yangpyeong Expressway route over a long period of time, and Kyungdong engineers who have received a private company's feasibility service sign the service only a few days later, and then just five days later, the route is completely changed. I think there was such a preliminary preparation to change the end point to the land where President Yoon's wife is located if President Yoon Suk Yeol takes power by someone. So the key suspicion is that the person who ordered this highway to change the end point to this side of the land where President Yoon's wife is located can't do that at a service company called Kyungdong Engineer. That's an impossible story. Then who gave the order? Now, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is responding like that by accepting a proposal from Kyungdong Engineering, a service provider, to change the terminal point, but no one thinks so. Therefore, Kim Gun-hee and Kim Sun-kyo, former county governor of Yangpyeong-gun, have some kind of connection working with each other, and someone who was actively acting as a transition member during the presidential transition committee has now actively pushed for the change of the end point.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: It's going to be done at the parliamentary audit. Yes, I see. Let's listen carefully. After listening to the interview during the parliamentary audit, the floor leader is about to be sentenced to the second trial in October due to interference in the Ulsan mayoral election, and the representative Cho Kuk is also concerned about the Supreme Court's sentence at the end of this month or November. But now that you have secured another seat in this general election and are conducting elections in Honam, how are you going to resolve your judicial risks in the future?

◇Hwang Un-ha: First of all, it is not desirable for a person who is about to be sentenced to trial to comment on the trial because he has to respect the judgment of the judiciary other than saying that the court will judge wisely because he is about to be sentenced to the second trial. So my problem is that the court will judge wisely because the lawyer has fully conveyed his opinion to the court on why the sentence of the first trial went wrong and why it went wrong legally. I am not in a position to directly mention the issue of representative Cho Kuk, but it is said to be an abuse of authority and a violation of the anti-graft law, and there is a controversy over whether this is legally an abuse of authority or whether this is a matter to be criminally punished. Isn't there a possibility of destruction and repatriation? This is the story of experts, not the one-sided argument I make.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Are you saying there is no risk?

◇Hwangwoon-ha: So I'm looking forward to remanding it. Judging that it is possible enough, it is only then that representative Cho Kuk is one of the leading presidential candidates, and it may be a judicial excess for the judiciary to make a ruling that disqualifies him from running. I think the court will consider that fully and make a wise judgment.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Yes, I see. Senator, I heard you briefly today. I'll listen to it for a longer time next time. That's all for today's interview. Thank you. Until now, Hwang Un-ha, floor leader of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party.
