Hong Joon Pyo "Conservative is still in good shape...The other person is Lee Jae-myung, the "criminal".

Daegu Mayor Hong Joon Pyo claimed that the time to differentiate himself from the previous administration for the re-creation of the government came too early, but it was fortunate that the conservative forces were still alive and the opponent was the "criminal" representative Lee Jae-myung.

Mayor Hong wrote on social media that it is always difficult to recreate the regime unless it is differentiated from the previous regime, and he thought that the time to differentiate himself from the Yoon Suk Yeol regime had been in the fourth year.

He then explained that unlike former President Park Geun Hye, who had differentiated himself by setting a confrontation throughout the Lee Myung Bak administration, he decided that he would not go further by pushing and encouraging the weak Yoon Suk Yeol administration.

He added that if he remained in central politics, he would not be free from joint responsibility for the failure of the regime and would not be able to recreate the conservative regime, so he went down to Daegu despite the concerns of his aides.
