Over four months, 55% of "New Lee Jae-myung" supporters and 20% of "Old Lee Jae-myung" supporters have defected

This is the fundamental reason why Lee Jae-myung and his followers of the "Third Way" cannot form a new party after leaving
Their support base is not large, and their loyalty is weak.
It is the Democratic Party's Lee Jae-myung, not Lee Jae-myung's Democratic Party
If it were the latter, he would have formed a new party along with pro-Lee lawmakers
He wouldn't have gone to such extreme lengths to establish Kim Min-seok as a representative
They know very well that if they leave, they will fail miserably
One way to protect the Democratic Party would be for Moon Jung-bok to be elected as the female committee chair
