TV Hongka Cola Returns.. Will Hong Jun-pyo Revoke His Political Retirement?

[Financial News] Hong Jun-pyo, former mayor of Daegu, announced on the 30th that he will restart his YouTube channel 'TV Hongka Cola'. This move comes after he left the party and declared his retirement from politics following his failure in the People's Power presidential candidate primary in the last 6·3 presidential election. Some see it as a signal for his political comeback.
 Former Mayor Hong said on Facebook that day, "Although I was greatly disappointed and left the party and politics after being deceived twice in the primary, I am taking time to deeply consider what path I should take to repay South Korea for the rest of my life."
 He continued, "Seven years ago, I predicted the era of one-person media and started TV Hongka Cola. However, due to my position, I did not actually appear on the show for the past five years and only broadcasted political news related to me. With this new start, I plan to actually appear and broadcast stories about life in a talk show format."
 He stated, "The newly starting TV Hongka Cola will be a place to discuss world affairs based on facts and political beliefs, unlike the biased 'Tultubers' (a derogatory term for far-right YouTubers) and some biased broadcasting media. I want to meet the world again through TV Hongka Cola."
