[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 17th, the Minsheng Party held its first party caucus at the National Assembly and reached a consensus to participate in the proportional representation coalition party promoted by the Democratic Party of Korea. However, due to opposition from Co-Leader Kim Jeong-hwa of the Bareunmirae Party faction, it remains uncertain whether this will be ratified as the party's official stance at the Supreme Council meeting.

The Minsheng Party convened two caucuses at around 2 PM and 9 PM on the same day, during which discussions on participation in the proportional representation coalition party took place. At the same time, first-term proportional representative lawmaker Jang Jeong-suk was elected as the floor leader.

Immediately after the caucus, Floor Leader Jang stated, "We have decided to participate in the proportional representation coalition party for stable governance in the second half of the year and the general election victory of the pan-democratic reform forces," adding, "It will be ratified as the party's official stance at the Supreme Council meeting on the 18th."

Although the Minsheng Party reached a consensus on participation in the proportional representation coalition party at the caucus, it is reported that opinions among lawmakers were divided. While lawmakers Cheon Jeong-bae and Park Ji-won generally expressed support, lawmaker Choi Do-ja from the Bareunmirae Party faction reportedly opposed the move.
