Han Donghoon Directly Questions Ha Jungwoo's Candidacy: "Did President Lee Order It... Illegal Interference"

Handong Hoon, former leader of the People Power Party, who has declared his candidacy for the by-election in Buk-gu Gap, Busan, continued his criticism regarding the candidacy of Hajung Woo, Senior Presidential Secretary for AI and Future Planning.

On the 28th, Handong Hoon stated, "Did President Lee Jaemyung instruct Senior Secretary Ha to run?" and added, "If this is true, it would constitute illegal election interference by the president."

He further remarked, "Senior Secretary Ha said, 'If the president instructs me to run in Buk-gu Gap, Busan, I will run; otherwise, I will remain at the presidential office.' Seeing that he is actually running, doesn't this reflect the president's intention?"

That morning, appearing on BBS Radio, Handong Hoon criticized, "AI is such a crucial field that every day counts as golden time, yet under this administration, it is being used like a launching pad for by-election candidates."

He went on to say, "Since he previously stated that he would not run unless instructed by the president, this candidacy essentially serves as a proxy battle for the president." He added, "Through this election, I will clearly expose the administration's problems and gauge public sentiment."
