● Oh Se-hoon Expands His Moves – ● Clashes Over 'Oh Se-hoon Ruling'

Seo Yong-ju / Former Standing Deputy Spokesperson of the Democratic Party of Korea
"I wish political circles would refrain from taking stances on individual court rulings"
"Regrettable whether the Oh Se-hoon ruling aligns with the purpose of the Political Funds Act"
"Use of the Political Funds Act will become rampant... The Supreme Court needs to deliberate carefully"
"Cannot understand Cho Kuk criticizing Kim Min-seok's remarks expecting a strict Supreme Court ruling"

Jang Seong-cheol / Director of the Public Discourse Center
"Around 60 opposition lawmakers could potentially move toward the pro-Oh Se-hoon faction"
"Oh Se-hoon will likely refrain from excessive moves until a final Supreme Court ruling"
"Unreasonable for the Democratic Party to link the Oh Se-hoon ruling to the impeachment of the Chief Justice"
"Rebuilding Korea Party is encouraged by rising approval ratings... Hardline messages likely to continue"

Yang Man-hee / SBS Editorial Writer
"Oh Se-hoon's 'acquittal' raises expectations for his political role"
"Oh Se-hoon to have dinner tomorrow with lawmakers who visited the court... Attention on the 'pro-Oh faction'"

● Is an 'Oh-Han-Seok Alliance' Possible?

Seo Yong-ju / Former Standing Deputy Spokesperson of the Democratic Party of Korea
"Han Dong-hoon seems to face the toughest circumstances as Oh Se-hoon revives"
"With the realignment of the conservative opposition, Han Dong-hoon could become isolated"

Jang Seong-cheol / Director of the Public Discourse Center
"Lee Jun-seok referred to Han Dong-hoon as a 'shallow legal technician'... Ill feelings seem evident"
"The 'Oh Se-hoon–Han Dong-hoon–Lee Jun-seok–Jang Dong-hyeok' alliance mentioned by Yoo Seung-min appears difficult"

Yang Man-hee / SBS Editorial Writer
"'Oh-Han-Seok alliance'? Ultimately an issue of the general election... Discussions likely to continue"
