Ex-DP leader Park Jie-won urges leadership to resign en masse over poll reversal

Park Jie-won, a former leader of the Democratic Party of Korea (DP), urged the party's leadership, including Chairman Jung Cheong-rae, to resign en masse and declare non-candidacy after a poll showed the rival People Power Party (PPP) overtaking the DP in support. Park described the situation as a "nuclear bomb dropped on the DP's history" and stressed that the leadership must step down if the public demands it, even if they feel wronged.
