At the People Power National Convention, which will be held on March 8, five leading members, who are members of the leadership, will be elected together with the party representative.
As it is an opportunity to strengthen the party’s position, there is fierce competition from young people in their 30s for the most distant YouTubers, and some voices of concern are also emerging.

Currently, more than 20 people are talking about themselves as candidates for the Supreme Council of People’s Power.
While most of the party’s mainstream pro-Yoon group is in discussion, current lawmakers close to former CEO Lee Jun-seok are also considering running for office.
Specifically, according to the party’s constitution, which was changed last year, if only 4 out of 5 elected positions and 4 of the top 5 youth members join, it is possible to replace the party’s leadership.
Since two or more allies are essential from the point of view of the party representative, factions within the party entered into a fierce battle of numbers, from choosing candidates for the supreme council member to choosing the youth member of the supreme council.

If you become a member of the supreme council, you will take an advantageous position in the nomination for next year’s general election, such as taking part in major decisions of the party as a member of the leadership, as well as taking part in various meetings and make your name known.

As a result, YouTubers who have been considered non-institutional far-right figures beyond former and current lawmakers are expressing their intention to run one after another.
YouTube channels with 1.47 million subscribers, such as ‘God’s Hansu’ and 840,000 ‘Garosero Research Institute,’ etc., were in line to vote for the Supreme Council, and the recognition accumulated through YouTube broadcasting and the fact that it is a 100% party. election voting members are cited as background for running.

The reaction within the ruling party is mixed.
It is expected that he will help the party convention, but there is also a prediction that the real chance of winning will be low, along with concerns that he will eventually return to the general election next year as a burden by encouraging the party to move to the right.

As the power struggle within the party between pro-Yun and non-Yun overlaps with the running of non-establishment figures such as YouTubers who are classified as far-right, there are concerns that the election of a supreme council member of the National Gall convention become cloudy within the power of the people.
