[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 13th, the Minsaeng Party stated that the allocation of proportional representation seats should be suspended until the Constitutional Court issues a ruling on satellite parties.

Choi Do-ja, the chief spokesperson of the Minsaeng Party, said in a statement, "The Minsaeng Party has filed a constitutional complaint requesting the cancellation of the party registration approvals of the Deobureo Civic Party and the Future Korea Party."

Choi added, "There is just over a month left until the start of the 21st National Assembly. The 21st National Assembly must not begin with representative democracy being undermined," and "Considering the seriousness of the issue where democracy in the Republic of Korea is being violated, we request the Constitutional Court to promptly issue a ruling."

Choi also stated, "The National Election Commission should suspend the allocation of proportional representation seats until the Constitutional Court's ruling is made, even if the election has ended. Only then can the distorted electoral system be corrected," and "The Election Commission has already made the mistake of approving the party registrations of the trick satellite parties. We hope they will now suspend the allocation of proportional representation seats to rectify this error."
