Preliminary candidates Ahn Cheol-soo and Geum Tae-seop, who ran for the Seoul Mayor’s by-election, creak before the start of the 3rd zone race.
The first TV debate, which should have been held yesterday (15th), collapsed due to disagreement between the two sides, and after additional negotiations, we managed to set a new date for the 18th.
In this process, the power of the people warned of annihilation.

The 3rd zone unification contest that fell in the fog with only one day left for the TV debate.
Candidate Chul-soo Ahn heard the reason for the restriction on the number of discussions notified by the Central Election Commission, but as a result of the YTN interview, the NEC only guided them to refer to the interpretation of votes 19 years ago, but this issue does not apply as it is.
It turned out that the legal review itself was not being conducted because there was no inquiry from Candidate Ahn’s side regarding this.
In the end, contrary to the apparent reason, the battle between the two sides over the selection of broadcasters and discussion methods was the decisive reason.
Candidate Ahn’s position is that Candidate Tae-seop Geum decided to pre-determine the host broadcaster or not, and the form of debate also asked for a’don’t ask debate’ without a topic and could not accept it.
[이태규 / 국민의당 사무총장 (국회의원) : 질문 1, 2, 3번 다 정해서 지금, 달달달 외워 와서 답변하는 그런 토론을 우리가 요구하는 게 아니잖아요. 주제를 정한 다음에 그 주제에서 자유 토론하면 되는 거잖아요, 누군가 주도권을 가지고.]
Candidate Geum’s story is the exact opposite.
In the case of the host broadcaster, Candidate Ahn responded, saying that he was not only insisting on a specific medium, but also did not come up with a specific discussion method one day before the discussion, so it was doubtful that he was really willing to discuss.
The power of the people watching is bound to be impatient.
Emergency Response Chairman Kim Jong-in warned that if one side sticks to a certain method, unification can cross the water and destroy it.
Although I did not mention a specific person directly, it seems that it was aimed at the preliminary candidate Ahn Cheol-soo.
[김종인 / 국민의힘 비상대책위원장 : 행여나 후보 한 명이 나 혼자 살겠다고 고집하면 모두 죽는 공존·공멸의 상황이라는 점을 명확하게 인식할 필요가 있다고 봅니다.]
As the controversy grew, the two sides eventually resumed working-level discussions, and finally agreed to hold a debate on Thursday.
The unification of the people’s strength, Ahn Cheol-soo, and Geum Tae-seop is a major issue that will draw attention ahead of the by-election in April.
If it goes well, it helps a lot, but if you creak like you are now, it may only have the opposite effect.
