A 36-year-old young man who had never been a member of the National Assembly or a group leader became the leader of the first opposition party. It is the first time in constitutional history that a person in his 30s has taken over as the leader of a large political party. President Lee expressed his ambition to create a party with individual personalities like 'Bibimbap' to win next year's presidential election.

[Woo-Yeo Hwang/Chairman of People's Strength Election Management: Candidate Jun-seok Lee (chosen as the representative of the People's Strength Party)]
36-year-old young politician Lee Jun-seok, now he leads the first opposition party.
Jun-seok Lee, the new leader, lost 3.5 percentage points to the strongest competitor, Na Kyung-won, in the party member vote, but recorded an overwhelming difference more than twice in the opinion poll and was finally elected with 43.8%.
It is the first time in our constitutional history that a young man in his 30s has been appointed as the representative of a political party in the National Assembly negotiating group.
The former presidents Kim Young-sam and Kim Dae-jung of the '40s Horseman Theory' in the 70s were not in their 30s either.
The inauguration of Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the first opposition party ahead of the presidential election, is that "to win next year's presidential election, the 'coexistence' of various presidential candidates is necessary."
[Lee Jun-seok/CEO of People's Power: The barbarism of blindly swearing because I am a presidential candidate I do not support will not be tolerated.]
'Coexistence' means a container for saladI compared it to 'salad bowl' and 'bibimbap'.
[Lee Jun-seok/CEO of People's Power: If we grind all the ingredients for bibimbap and put it on top of the rice, it will have a dull color, the color will not be very appealing, and the texture will be the same. (We will create a party that does not change the precious personalities of (the presidential candidates).)]
And he shouted 'government judgment'.
[Lee Jun-seok / of national power representatives: 2021, 2022 is the year will be remembered that judgment that the forces that we degenerate into barbarism that of democracy in a number dictatorship, does not check the hypocrisy -
elected top members include Kim Jae Won ago With the exception of lawmakers, Su-jin Jo, Hyun-jin Bae, and Mi-kyung Jeong, former lawmakers, made great strides.
