Democratic Party is increasingly demanding that Vice Chairman Yun Ho-jung take responsibility for his loss in the presidential election and resign.

The situation of the Democratic Party was covered by reporter Ko Jung-hyun.

jung Yun, chairman of the Democratic Party's emergency response plan, had a meeting with newly-elected and re-elected lawmakers one after another.
The opinion that Chairman Yoon, who is responsible for the loss of the presidential election as the floor leader, should resign as he is not suitable as the head of the non-captain, and
[Kim Jong-min/Democratic Party member (re-elected): (Ho-jung Yun system) I don't think it will be easy.
I think it is necessary to think about such a way to unite the party.] At this point, it is said that there
is no alternative, and the realistic theory defending Chairman Yoon is said to have been tightly opposed.
[Jo Oh-seop / Democratic Party member (first election): The atmosphere was acknowledging the current situation (for Yun Ho-jung’s non-captain system) and pushing forward with the remaining tasks…

Chairman Yoon announced that he would make a decision to advance and retire soon.
[Ko Yong-jin / Senior Spokesperson for the Democratic Party: I have been in politics without ever being attached to position and authority, and I will make a decision 'coolly' by collecting the opinions of lawmakers well (as Vice Chairman Yun Ho-jung said)
] In-party ruptures are popping up all over the place.
In an interview with a media outlet yesterday, Chae Yi-bae said, "I want President Moon Jae-in to leave a remorse in his resignation letter, saying he missed the opportunity to apologize because he was noticing the strong supporters."
Then, pro-moon lawmakers from the Blue House demanded an apology, saying, "Isn't it good politics to seek out when the election is necessary and to write a reflective letter to the president when the party is in trouble?"
Rep. Min Hyung-bae called it 'reckoning' and called for the immediate dismissal of member Chae.
It is expected that the choice of the Democratic Party lieutenant colonel, whether it is an orderly rectification or an innovative reconstruction, will also affect the next major election, which is scheduled for next week.
