After losing the presidential and local elections in a row, Woo Sang-ho, chairman of the Democratic Party's vice chairman, who took charge of the party, pointed out the word watermelon and publicly warned.
Watermelon is an expression used by the supporters of Rep. Jae-myung Lee to mean a person who is different from the outside and inside, referring to the people who are close to him, such as Nak-yeon Lee, the former president of the presidential election.
[Woo Sang-ho / Democratic Party Non-Chairman: People who use the word 'watermelon' I will not leave it alone.
What is a watermelon, watermelon?
I'll definitely warn you about all of that.
I will warn you publicly.]
This is the purpose of cutting off the seeds of conflict by strictly prohibiting personal attacks, black propaganda, and the language of factional divisions.
Regarding the election loss, he said, "The people put more effort into what they want to do rather than the problem of making a living," and emphasized that "the first goal is to be reborn as a capable people's party.
It seems that the success or failure of non-Captain Woo Woo-ho will be determined by how he or she resolves the expected conflicts between factions over the rules of the national convention scheduled for the end of August.
The Justice Party, whose leadership resigned on the 2nd after being responsible for the disastrous local election, also held a national committee and launched an emergency response committee chaired by floor leader Lee Eun-joo.
