On the same day, in an interview with SBS Radio, Won Hee-ryong was asked to comment on the support rate of the Motherland Revolutionary Party, and he said, “I stopped supporting the Democratic Party of Korea because of the bulletproofing of Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea. “This is probably because there were voters, and those voters turned to the Homeland Revolution Party, which is even more critical of the government,” he said, adding, “However, the support rate among young people was 0%.”

Won Hee-ryu continued, “The previous administration ended up handing over the government due to “double standards” (romance if you did it, adultery if someone else did it) and injustice, but that was due to Cho Kuk. It was the representative’s fault,” and “The Republic of Korea was divided into two, which is a truly impossible situation because of Chokuk.”

During his election campaign, Mr. Motokiryu received comments from young people in their 20s and 30s, such as, “This is so brazen. I can’t understand at all that he would start a political party and want to become a member of the Diet even though he was found guilty in the second trial.” He said he heard it. Motokiryu predicted, “There will be headwinds from young people.”

In fact, according to the results of an opinion poll released on the 15th by the research firm Gallup Korea, the support rate for the Homeland Revolution Party among 18-29 year olds was 0%.

In a political party support survey conducted between the 12th and 14th among 1,002 men and women over the age of 18 nationwide, the Fatherland Revolution Party recorded an approval rating of 7%. It came in third place behind the ruling party, People’s Power (37%), and the opposition Democratic Party (32%).

Looking at the support rate for the Fatherland Revolution Party by age, it was 14% for those in their 50s, 11% for those in their 40s, and 8% for those in their 60s, but 3% for those in their 30s, 1% for those over 70, and 1% for those aged 18-29. It was 0%.

Gallup Korea analyzes that “Both the Democratic Party and the Fatherland Revolutionary Party share a support base of people in their 40s and 50s,” and “The Fatherland Revolutionary Party is not in the third zone, but is in a position to collaborate with the Democratic Party.” Indicated.
