Former Korean history instructor and YouTuber Jeon Han-gil noted that since the People Power Party's national convention, he has received many requests for greetings and recommendations for next year's local elections.
While visiting Washington, D.C., Jeon said in a live broadcast on the 30th, "I believe I have influence with Representative Jang Dong-hyuk, and I feel strong influence. Surprisingly, I've already received requests for greetings and next year's nominations." He continued, "I received a request call today as well, but I don't play that role. I won't burden Representative Jang."
Jeon remarked, "There is no bluebird in the world," adding, "Others tell me they want me to run for member of parliament or mayor, and to get nominated, but I have no such intentions at all."
Earlier, Jeon sparked controversy by stating that "the person who embraces me can become a member of parliament, a mayor, or a president." He explained that since the party belongs to its members, he said that in the context of exerting influence, calling it "the one who embraces Jeon Han-gil."
Jeon stated, "Currently, my YouTube subscribers are growing by 10,000 daily and have reached 520,000. I believe that in 50 days, it will reach 1 million." He added, "If these people join the People Power Party and become responsible members, we will surpass the majority of party members. Then we can nominate the people we want for member of parliament, metropolitan mayor, or president."
Jeon said, "What kind of rebellion is the state of emergency declared by former President Yoon Suk-yeol?" He added, "Restoring the honor of former President Yoon and Kim Keon-hee is the principle and the next goal. I am speaking out for this."
Jang Dong-hyuk, the representative of the People Power Party, commented in a media interview regarding Jeon's potential appointment to a party position, stating, "As active members, when we raise our voices in the National Assembly, Jeon amplifies those voices outside the party as a volunteer and blocks the enemy," adding that "being a volunteer suits Jeon best."
On the 26th, during a YouTube broadcast at the People Power Party's national convention, Jeon confronted former presidential candidate Kim Moon-soo, who lost in the party's leadership contest, saying, "He should apologize to me for saying he would embrace Han Dong-hoon and abandon Jeon Han-gil." He asserted, "Behind Jeon Han-gil are Yoon Suk-yeol and Kim Keon-hee. Abandoning Jeon Han-gil means abandoning Yoon Suk-yeol."
