As controversy grows day after day over candidate Yong Hye-in (Minister of Gender Equality and Family), the Democratic Party is reportedly in a dilemma. Although public opinion is worsening over allegations against Yong, with President Lee Jae-myung's approval rating plummeting to the 30% range, there is considerable political pressure to advocate for a mid-term withdrawal. Candidate Yong Hye-in is also involved in allegations such as holding a ▶proportional representation seat, paying spouse party allowances ▶through taxes (party subsidies), and activities in anti-abortion groups. ▶ The controversy is growing, drawing fierce criticism,,,, especially regarding attempts to concurrently serve as proportional representative and minister, even within the Democratic Party, calls for resignation are erupting, saying, "If there is a next rotation, proportional representation should be resigned" (Supreme Council member Park Sun-won) and "He suddenly rose to prominence and received double or triple privileges" (Rep. Song Young-gil). As the controversy grew, Democratic Party leader Kim Min-seok said on the 3rd, "Usually, during confirmation hearings, there are corruption issues that are hidden, It's a problem, but this time it's a matter of judgment on the facts that have been revealed," adding, "It seems different from usual." Within the Democratic Party, regarding Yong's future, there is a strong sentiment (Representative Kim Young-jin) that "we need to observe Yong's judgment and decisions," but behind the scenes, there is a growing atmosphere that it is becoming increasingly difficult to protect Yong. A first-term lawmaker from the Seoul metropolitan area said, "Yong is not even our party's lawmaker, and even young women's circles oppose him, and his expertise is questionable, so there are limits to protecting him." On the other hand, regarding Kim Seung-won, the nominee for Minister of Justice, who is also in a burdensome position, there is a strong atmosphere of support within the ruling party . Compared to candidate Yong,,,,, Kim Seung-won will be supported, and Yong Hye-in will likely be pushed out!!!!!!!
