● Controversy Over Up to Fourfold Increase ● Party Leadership Race Begins in Earnest

Seong Chi-hun / Deputy Spokesperson, Democratic Party of Korea
"The President's mention of the 'deposit' is an excessive claim of party interference."
"The increase in the deposit is even more problematic because there is no clear explanation for it."
"The 2030 generation is not becoming conservative, but rather anti-Democratic Party; they are increasingly disliking the party."
"The core message of the national convention should be expanding the base, and that must extend to generational expansion."

Jang Sung-chul / Director, Gongron Center
"Political parties should not break the will of youth politics."
"It is inappropriate to point to the President's mention of the 'deposit' as 'party interference'."
"The entrenchment of vested interests in mainstream parties is due to poor nomination processes; they fail to cultivate talent."
"The Democratic Party treats young politicians like accessories; they give them opportunities only to take them away."

Yang Man-hee / SBS Editorial Writer
"The Democratic Party talks about 'youth', but only makes decisions that go against them."
