People Power Party’s nomination committee chair Lee Jung-hyun is ready to ditch his controversial field jacket after facing criticism from party bigwigs.

Taking to Facebook on the 5th, Lee addressed the buzz around his wardrobe choices. “I’ve seen the articles about some party members chatting with leadership,” he wrote. “Apparently, there’s been talk about swapping out my signature field jacket.”

“Look, I’m not about to dig my heels in over a piece of clothing,” Lee quipped. “If a wardrobe refresh helps us clinch the local elections, I’m all for it.” He added, “I’m taking this as a call for unity, not a dig at my military-esque style. We’re all in this to win, after all.”

So, what’s Lee’s fashion pivot? He’s reaching for a blast from the past – a trusty zip-up jacket that’s seen him through countless campaign trails. “I’m bringing back the jacket I wore during the party leadership race, my regional tours as party chair, and when I was pounding the pavement in Suncheon,” he explained. “It might not be designer, but it’s packed with memories of the folks I’ve met. It’s got that grassroots political vibe, you know?”

Lee didn’t shy away from poking fun at his own style sense. “For nearly three decades of campaigning in Honam, I’ve heard the same thing: ‘Great guy, terrible dresser.’ Guess fashion isn’t my strong suit,” he chuckled.

Wrapping up his post with a touch of humor, Lee wrote, “I’m happy to swap out a jacket you’re not feeling, but changing my face? That’s a bit beyond my abilities – hope you can cut me some slack there.” He signed off with a promise: “No matter what I’m wearing, my heart’s always dressed up for the people and the party.” Talk about wearing your political ambitions on your sleeve!
