On the 27th, the Democratic Party of Korea’s Strategic Nomination Management Committee excluded Lim Jong-seok, former Chief of Staff to President Moon Jae-in, from the Gap nomination in Jung-gu and Seongdong-gu, Seoul and strategically nominated former Civil Rights Commission Chairman Jeon Hyun-hee, bringing about a direct conflict between the pro-Myung faction and the pro-Moon faction.

On the 28th, former Blue House Chief of Staff Lim Jong-seok, who was excluded from the Seoul Central and Seongdong-gap nominations, asked to reconsider his decision to exclude nominations, saying, “The promise and unity of the famous families (Lee Jae-myung and Moon Jae-in) are the basic prerequisites for winning the general election.”
Former Chief of Staff Lim held a press conference at the National Assembly on this day and said, “I politely and earnestly request the party leadership to reconsider the decision regarding gender equality.” The Democratic Party’s Strategic Nomination Committee strategically nominated former lawmaker Jeon Hyun-hee to Seoul Middle and Seongdong Gap the day before, and the highest committee made a final decision on the following day, the 28th.
Former Chief of Staff Lim said, “There is time to change direction,” and asked, “Please restore unity and integration and create an opportunity for a reversal that will enable the Democratic Party to win the general election.” He then expressed his intention to continue his election campaign in Jungseong Donggap, saying, “As usual, I plan to go out to Wangsimni Station Square at 6pm this evening to say hello.”
Former Chief of Staff Lim claimed that Representative Lee Jae-myung had distanced himself from him since the presidential election. He said, “During the last presidential election, I received an official request from the Seoul City Party and Gwangju City Party of the Democratic Party to run a campaign to support the election. I gladly accepted, but the presidential campaign refused, so I could not move.” He went on to say, “It was difficult to understand the rejection because the warning lights were turned on in the election due to the widespread rumors of pro-Myung and pro-Moon conflict, but there was no other way to participate other than appealing on social media.”
Former Director Lim said, “I believed it would be different this time. “I believed in the integration of a prestigious political party and a melting pot, which Representative Lee Jae-myung firmly promised at the Yangsan meeting,” he said. “It is just miserable.” “I can’t understand why they are doing this,” he said. It is known that former President Moon Jae-in requested some pro-Moon greetings, including former Chief of Staff Lim, during his meeting with Representative Lee, but this is interpreted to mean that this was not accepted.
Former Chief of Staff Lim said to Representative Lee and the leadership, “Can we really win the general election if we go like this?” and “Can we ignore even the last bridge for integration and win the hearts of the people with Representative Lee Jae-myung alone?”
