Exit after “Muyahong” box office hit… The task posed by ‘loser’ Jun-pyo Hong


[앵커]

Again, political news. Candidate Hong Jun-pyo, who took the lead in public opinion polls in the People’s Power primary, but remained in second place. Candidate Hong drew attention because he received support from 2030 and showed the possibility of expanding his support base. Today (6th), Lee Jae-myung and Yoon Seok-yeol’s first schedule as young people may be a task left by Candidate Hong.

Reporter Park Yu-mi pointed out that ‘task left by the loser’.

The day before the election of Candidate Jun-pyo Hong, the final candidate, I came to Hongdae here for the last election schedule.

[홍준표/국민의힘 대선 예비후보 (지난 4일) : 역대 대통령 선거에서 2030 지지를 이렇게 열광적으로 받은 후보들이 없었습니다. 좀 특이한 현상인데]

With the support of these 2030 men, Candidate Hong led by more than 10 percentage points in the national opinion polls, but was greatly pushed back and lost in the party member vote.

A message to the winners, right here.

■ 2030 expansion

Candidate Hong’s wind blew in the 2030s.

[홍준표/국민의힘 대선 예비후보 (지난 9월 16일) : 요즘 MZ세대들이 ‘무야홍’을 외치면서 우리 당으로 많이 들어왔습니다.]

In a poll released by Gallup Korea yesterday, Hong’s approval rating in his 20s (25%) greatly surpassed Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol (3%).

The direct speech method called ‘Hongka-Cola’ and the radical promises such as the execution of the death penalty, the revival of the judicial examination and the reduction of the number of lawmakers were particularly well received by young men.

■ Bicycle, leisure

When asked if he had prepared an acceptance speech, he replied:

[홍준표/국민의힘 대선 예비후보 (어제) : 즉흥 연설을 하는 것이 훨씬 감정전달이 좋습니다.]

The experience of serving as a five-term member of the National Assembly, re-elected governor of Gyeongsangnam-do, presidential candidate, and party leader is a political asset.

[홍준표/국민의힘 대선 예비후보 (지난 9월 14일) : (캠프에 대한 네거티브가 최근 제기되고 있는데) 흔들릴 사람도 아니고, 그런 문제는 눈도 깜짝하지 않습니다.]

Bitter takes action to accept.

[홍준표/국민의힘 대선 예비후보 (지난 9월 16일) : 다 받아들이겠습니다. 그리고 앞으로 참고하도록 하겠습니다. 대통령이 되어서도 국민의 쓴소리를 다 듣겠습니다.]

Controversy over the word-of-mouth in the last presidential election is still attached like a tag, but with this flexible attitude, it did not get on the big pole in this election.

■ Challenges left behind by losers

Yesterday there seemed to be no end.

[홍준표/국민의힘 대선 예비후보 (어제) : 이번 경선에서 마지막까지 치열하게 국민적 관심을 끌어주었다는 역할이 제 역할이었습니다.]

The winners said they would accept the strengths of the losers.

[윤석열/국민의힘 대선후보 (어제) : 홍준표 후보님의 경륜과…경제 전문가 유승민 후보님의… 또 ‘대장동 1타 강사’ 원희룡 후보님의…]

However, the 2030 movement to withdraw from the power of the people continues with Hong’s fallout.

Regardless of the opposition, this is a winner’s task, with scalability questioned.
