As the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol is being pursued, the stride of non-critics of the Democratic Party of Korea is expanding.

Former Gyeongnam Governor Kim Kyung-soo, who is studying in Germany, is busy returning home early tomorrow (5th), which is interpreted as a move with the possibility of a "early presidential election" becoming a reality.

Former Gyeongnam Governor Kim Kyung-soo, who is studying in Germany, posted this on social media shortly after the emergency martial law was declared.

He canceled all schedules and said he would return home as soon as possible, and wrote that he would join the people to protect the Republic of Korea.

At first, Kim was going to study in Germany this month and then move to the United States and return home around February next year.

However, former Governor Kim explains that he has accelerated his return to Korea to cope with the urgent domestic political situation.Former Governor Kim, who was sentenced to two years in prison in the

Druking Comment Manipulation case, received a lottery as a special envoy for the Liberation Day in August, and the road to political participation is open.

Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon also hit President Yoon directly through SNS posts.

Defining the process of declaring martial law as a "two-hour coup," President Yoon claimed that he was "subject to arrest" and not impeached.

The two former and current governors, who are classified as Sci-gye Jamryong, were previously known to have held a private meeting in Germany early last month ahead of the first trial of Lee Jae-myung's violation of the Public Official Election Act.

In addition, former presidential chief of staff Im Jong-seok and others are raising their voices about martial law, and the stride of non-committal figures seems to be expanding all at once.

Above all, analysts say that the move is in consideration of the possibility of an early presidential election becoming a reality at a time when the impeachment of President Yoon is being pursued.

However, it is common to observe that the pro-Myeong faction's control of the party will be strengthened immediately due to this incident.

However, given that representative Lee Jae-myung's judicial risk is also currently ongoing, the movement to highlight his presence as the next presidential candidate is expected to become busier.
