In the Democratic Party, which holds the party representative election in August, lawmakers born in the 1970s who attended college in the 1990s, the so-called '97 Group', are continuing to declare their candidacy.

Yesterday (29th), following Rep. Kang Hospital, Rep. Park Yong-jin threw out her vote today, and there is a trend to check Rep. Lee Jae-myung with the theory of generational replacement.



Next is reporter Jang Min-seong.

Rep. Park Yong-jin, one of the Democratic Party's '97 Group', the so-called 'Ranggang Yangbak', announced his candidacy for party leader Lee Jae-myung.



[Park Yong-jin/Democratic Rep.: I think that a person who did not bask in the side fire of the faction, who did not kneel in the 'malignant fandom', and did not turn his back should lead the party's innovation.]



Then, he called this member directly into the ring.



[Park Yong-jin/Democratic Rep.: Rep. Lee Jae-myung, come out, let's stick together with Park Yong-jin for the Democratic Party's innovation.]



Among 'Ryanggang', Rep. Kang Byung-won announced his candidacy yesterday,



[Kang Byung-won/Democratic Member: Please pour new alcohol into the new unit. .

If the party leader changes, the Democratic Party changes.]



Rep. Kang Hoon-shik predicted the declaration of candidacy this coming Sunday.



One of the remaining members of 'Yangbak', Representative Park Jumin, said that he would decide whether to run for office within this week at the earliest.



On the other hand, lawmaker Lee Jae-myung is still in 'listening mode'.



Some media reports that he has solidified his decision to run for office are not true, and he said, "We are hearing various opinions."



Nevertheless, over the attack of a civil servant in the West Sea, he revealed his presence by pinching the ruling party to focus on the people's livelihood instead of the political struggle.



The 97th group seems to fill the vacant seats of Rep. Jeon Hae-cheol and Hong Young-pyo, who have declared not to run for office.



If they achieve unification of candidates with the support of the pro-Chinmun circle and the 86th group, there is a possibility that the Democratic National Convention in August will be structured as Lee Jae-myung vs. Lee Jae-myung Ban Lee Jae-myung with the 'generational change theory' at the fore.
