Discussions regarding the unification of the South Korean conservative camp have emerged amid friction between key political figures. Reform Party leader Lee Jun-seok has rejected proposals for a coalition, criticizing independent lawmaker Han Dong-hoon as a ‘vulgar legal technician’ and dismissing efforts by Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon to bridge centrist conservative figures. In contrast, Han Dong-hoon has expressed support for Mayor Oh, describing him as a ‘very rational person’ and emphasizing the necessity of working together for the conservative camp’s victory. Han noted that the recent acquittal of Mayor Oh in an appeals court regarding allegations of violating the Political Funds Act was a relief. Addressing criticisms from conservative circles labeling him a ‘traitor’ due to his actions during a martial law incident, Han asserted, ‘I have never betrayed the people,’ maintaining that preventing martial law was his duty. He also dismissed recent allegations regarding his daughter’s credentials as ‘political retaliation’ by the Democratic Party.
