● Kim Min-seok Announces Bid ● Jung Chung-rae Heads to Honam

Seo Yong-ju / Former full-time deputy spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Korea
"It is clear that the President feels uncomfortable with Jung Chung-rae."
"Kim Min-seok's announcement has a clear train of thought; he is questioning the responsibility for the local elections."
"It seems Song Young-gil intends to run to prevent an early lame-duck period for the Lee administration."
"The Democratic Party lacks consideration for the future generation beyond the 86 generation."

Jang Sung-chul / Director of the Gongron Center
"The President seems to feel burdened and hostile toward a party leader who does not align with him."
"Jung Chung-rae is making moves toward a consecutive term as party leader behind closed doors, taking an emotional approach."
"The convention landscape is framed as 'Kim Min-seok or a catastrophe in party-government relations,' which is advantageous for Kim."
"The lack of replacement for the Democratic Party's 86 generation is due to them walking on eggshells around the President."

Son Seok-min / SBS Editorial Writer
"Securing the votes of party members with voting rights is the key point to watch in the Democratic Party's national convention."
"Jung Chung-rae seems to believe he has the upper hand with party members; he is currently employing an out-boxing strategy."
