After losing the presidential and local elections, Woo Sang-ho, chairman of the Democratic Party's vice chairman, who was tasked with taking control 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 were 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 the seeds of division 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 rather than the problem of making a living," and emphasized that "the first goal is to be reborn as a competent people's livelihood party."



Nevertheless, the war of nerves between factions continued today (12th).



When Rep. Jeong Se-gyun-gye Lee Won-wook demanded the dissolution of the party's hard-line first-election group 'Rae-a-hoe', pro-Lee Jae-myung-gye Kim Nam-guk countered, saying, "They have enjoyed heavenly powers through factional politics."



Rep. Lee immediately insisted on the dismantlement of the 'Royal Association', saying, "The people who need to step forward to get rid of political hooligans are Rep. Jae-myung Lee and politicians close to him."



The situation in which conflicts between factions can continue over the rules of the national convention scheduled for the end of August, and how to seal it seems to determine the success or failure of non-Captain Woo Sang-ho.



The Justice Party, whose leadership resigned on the 2nd after taking responsibility for the disastrous local election, held a national committee today and launched an emergency response committee chaired by floor leader Lee Eun-joo.
