● Mixed Reactions from Ruling and Opposition Parties Toward Cho Kuk

Kang Sung-pil / Former Deputy Spokesperson, Democratic Party
"DP and Rebuilding Korea Party need party member support first before any merger"

Ham In-kyung / Spokesperson, People Power Party
"Cho Kuk's remarks regarding the dismissal of indictment make sense, leaving political engineering aside"

Yang Man-hee / Editorial Writer, SBS
"Rebuilding Korea Party seems to judge that President Lee is open to a merger"
"Cho's 'bitter advice' remarks are a differentiation process to raise its political leverage amid integration discussions"
