The conversation revolves around the upcoming by-election for the head of Gangseo-gu in Seoul, which is just 10 days away. The ruling and opposition parties are making an all-out effort to gauge public sentiment in the metropolitan area before the next year's general election. The discussion centers around the remarks of Candidate Kim Tae-woo, which have caused controversy. Kim Tae-woo, in response to his trial, stated that the cost of the by-election is about 4 billion won and joked that people should look at the money as a cute gesture. Critics argue that this statement reflects a lack of responsibility and ethics on the part of politicians.
The conversation also touches on the dismissal of Representative Lee Jae-myung's warrant, which is expected to be a significant variable in the Gangseo-gu mayor election. The Democratic Party is likely to put considerable pressure on the ruling party by solidifying its pro-Myung system. The discussion also highlights the low voter turnout in by-elections and the need for the Democratic Party to respond strategically and flexibly to the people's power.
The conversation concludes with a discussion on the impending confirmation hearing for the Minister of National Defense, Shin Won-sik. The discussion highlights the controversy surrounding the selling of stocks by Kim Young-jae Yoo and the need for a clear explanation of certain things. The conversation ends with a discussion on the potential implications of the rejection of Representative Lee Jae-myung's arrest warrant and the need for the president and the opposition party to show voters an image of integration and cooperation.
