There are also observations that the’third zone’ could become the central axis of political reform in the political world due to the sudden resignation of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol. It is predicted that the reform center force, which is based on the’anti-moon’ public sentiment, can be born as a new opposition party that replaces the power of the people, a conservative party. The process of unifying the Seoul Mayor’s by-election is regarded as a step in which the possibility of the third zone can be predicted. This is because if Ahn Cheol-soo, president of the National Assembly Party, defeats candidate Oh Se-hoon, the explosive power of the third zone could be created.

President Yoon, who expressed his appreciation on the 4th, said, “I will do my best to protect liberal democracy and protect the people, no matter where I am,” and open the possibility of entering politics. However, the opinion of the politicians is that it is unlikely that Yoon will belong to an opposition party right now. This is because President Yoon has established a confrontation with the Democratic Party over the past two years due to the’country of the motherland’, and in the early days of the Moon Jae-in regime, he has been at the center of the’clearing of redemption’ investigation team targeting former Presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye. An official of the people’s power said, “The moment Yoon joins the people’s power, the backlash from the so-called’pronounced’ forces is almost as obvious.”

Representatives Ahn and former lawmaker Tae-seop Geum are open to the possibility of powering the’Third Zone’. Rep. Geum said in a call with the Seoul economy that day, “I agree with President Yoon’s words that the Moon Jae-in regime is destroying liberal democracy.” He emphasized that the identity of the new party should be put on’restore pluralism and liberalism, not the dichotomy between progress and conservativeism’. Representative Ahn also mentioned the possibility of political reform on the 9th of last month, saying, “If the opposition champions win this election, their thoughts will gather on what is the best way to win the next presidential election.”

It is observed that the third zone theory will be amplified if President Ahn wins the unification of the opposition candidates for the mayor of Seoul. The National Assembly sees the coming April by-election as a turning point for political reform. The National Assembly Party is a minority party with only three seats, but if it is elected as the mayor of Seoul after successful unification of the opposition candidates for the mayor of Seoul, it can raise its influence to the presidential election phase. Park Seong-min, CEO of Min Consulting, a political critic predicted, “If Ahn becomes a single candidate for the opposition and becomes the mayor of Seoul, the political reorganization centered on the third zone could be achieved.

CEO Ahn told Social Network Service (SNS) that day, “The victory of the opposition by-election on April 7 will be a catalyst for widespread national action. I am confident that the national capacities gathered in this way will be the driving force for the regime change next year.” I wrote it down. Representative Ahn also expressed a position to support President Yoon’s future in protecting the constitutional spirit and rule of law.
