[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] It was confirmed on the 19th that lawmakers Won Yoo-chul, Jung Gap-yoon, Yeom Dong-ryeol, and Jang Seok-chun have left the United Future Party and joined the Future Korea Party.

According to political circles, these lawmakers submitted their resignation from the United Future Party in the afternoon and filed their application to join the Future Korea Party, a sister party for proportional representation.

Since Han Sun-kyo, the leader of the Future Korea Party, and the party leadership announced their collective resignation on the same day, it is expected that a new leadership will be formed centered around these lawmakers.

In particular, Won, a five-term veteran who previously held key party positions such as floor leader in the Saenuri Party, the predecessor of the United Future Party, is highly likely to take on the role of party leader. Yeom is mentioned as a candidate for secretary-general.

Earlier, when the 'proportional representation candidate list,' which sparked conflict between the two parties, was rejected in the Future Korea Party's election committee vote, the Future Korea Party leadership, including leader Han, secretary-general Jo Hoon-hyun, and supreme council members Kim Sung-chan, Lee Jong-myung, and Jung Woon-cheon, collectively resigned.
