[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 6th, Park Hyung-jun, chairman of the Innovation and Integration Promotion Committee (Hyuktongwi), which launched the Preparatory Committee for the Unified New Party, urged the New Conservative Party to take the lead in integration, stating that "the Preparatory Committee for the New Party is a political consensus body."

On the same day, immediately after the first meeting, Chairman Park told reporters, "It is sufficient for each party's authorized body to make a resolution based on the discussions held at the highest political consensus body," clarifying his position.

Earlier, the Preparatory Committee for the New Party announced that Representative Jung Byung-guk was designated as the integration chairman from the New Conservative Party side, but the New Conservative Party drew a line by stating through its public relations office in the afternoon that "the designation is not the official position of the New Conservative Party." Regarding this, Chairman Park explained, "There was some confusion," adding, "The official position is that no co-chairman has been designated."

Chairman Park further added, "At the meeting, I urged that the New Conservative Party decide by this weekend whether it will promptly proceed with the integration."
