Kim Byung-jun “I will work hard”… Official operation of ‘Old Captain except Kim Jong-in’ (comprehensive 2 reports)

On the 26th, Kim Byung-joon, the former chairman of the emergency countermeasures committee, who served as the co-chairman of the People’s Power Election Countermeasures Committee, said, “I plan to work hard as the chairman of the standing election.”

Kim said at a press conference after a 20-minute private interview with presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol at the Yeouido office on the same day.

He is known to have requested an interview with Candidate Yoon first, and also volunteered for a press conference.

In particular, he stressed, “I will not hold any elected or appointed public office.”

It seems that some observers discussing the possibility of the resignation or change of position of ‘Kim Byung-jun, permanent election chairman’ seems to have been dismissed in order to induce Kim Jong-in, former non-chairman to join the election.

At the same time, it seems that he showed his will to run selflessly for the election of Candidate Yoon. Recently, inside and outside the opposition, there have been observations that Kim Byung-jun, the permanent election chairman, is aiming for the regime takeover chairman or the first prime minister.

In the past, Kim Jong-in, who is considered to be the “one-top” general election chairperson, has been discussing the voluntary resignation or change of position of permanent election chairperson Kim Byung-jun under the hood. comes out

In a recent meeting with Candidate Yoon, Kim said that the fact that he and he had the same views on values ​​such as liberalism, fairness and distribution was the trigger for accepting the election.

“We are maintaining an outdated power structure and state management system, and I thought it was time to boldly change these things once,” said Kim. “So I thought I should help whatever I do, so I accepted the position of the standing chairperson, and I plan to work hard.”

He continued, “I’ll see what kind of role I’ll play later, but I’m going to do my best,” he said.

Regarding former Vice Chairman Kim Jong-in, who is known to oppose his appointment as the permanent election chairman, he said, “I don’t think I’m going to talk about the issue of not being appointed as the general election chairman,” he said. We discussed and tried everything, but I thought everything was going to go well, but the results went in a different direction and I am a little embarrassed.”

Standing Election Committee Chairman Kim said, “Yesterday, the (electoral committee) generals were greeted, and the election day is urgent, so it cannot be left alone. Shouldn’t we be tied to this issue and not be able to do anything?” he said.

He added, “In my case, I’m not a very vertical person.”

Regarding the timing of the inauguration of the election committee, he said, “The sooner the better. Isn’t it early December?” He said, “There has been some delay due to the issue of the general election chairperson, but it is probably not going to be attended anymore, and regardless of whether you come or not, the captain can just stay. All the people will understand the situation without it,” he said.

Regarding the role sharing with CEO Lee Jun-seok, who is the co-standing election chairperson, he said, “I can’t tell you because I can’t go to the election committee because it’s a fixed appointment and there can be a lot of changeable situations, so we have to change it while negotiating in the middle.”

When asked, ‘Will you accept the proposal of the general election chairperson if necessary?’, he replied, “What should I play a bigger role in…” and “Do I need to change the name?”
