[Asia Economy reporters Lee Ji-eun and Kim Hye-min] The Future Korea Party, a satellite party of the United Future Party for proportional representation, plans to replace more than five candidates among the top 20 on the proportional representation list. Gong Byung-ho, the chairman of the party's nomination committee, who initially said that only about one candidate could be changed, has also changed his mind.

On the 18th, the Future Korea Party's Supreme Council held a meeting at the party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, and resolved to reconsider part of the nomination list for proportional representation candidates ranked 20th or below. After the meeting, Jeong Un-cheon, a Supreme Council member of the Future Korea Party, told reporters, "More than five candidates have been reconsidered," confirming this decision.

He said, "Five more candidates within the top 20 on the proportional representation list need to be changed," adding that the details will be handled by the Party Affairs Committee. However, he refrained from specifying how the five candidates would be changed. Jeong also said, "There have been many unofficial discussions," and "(Chairman Gong) has also undergone many changes."

Supreme Council member Lee Jong-myeong also told reporters, "An official announcement will be made, but about four to five candidates will be adjusted."

The Future Korea Party's nomination committee will immediately hold a meeting to discuss this and plans to replace some candidates.
