[Asia Economy Reporters Lee Ji-eun and Kim Hye-min] The Youth Emergency Response Committee (Youth ERC), composed of young politicians from the United Future Party, has demanded the resignation of Acting Party Leader Shim Jae-cheol and the entire leadership team.

On the 29th, the Youth ERC issued a statement at the National Assembly saying, "We express serious regret over the confusion shown to the public and party members during the irrational procedures and voting process regarding the appointment of the United Future Party's Emergency Response Committee Chairperson yesterday (28th)."

They criticized Acting Leader Shim for forcibly holding the National Committee meeting on the same day despite the failure of the Standing National Committee. The Youth ERC stated, "As a result, an unprecedented situation occurred where the main opposition party, the United Future Party, helplessly pleaded to a single individual," adding, "This is an act that tramples on the pride of all party members and the countless citizens who supported the United Future Party."

The Youth ERC strongly urged, "We strongly call for the immediate resignation of the entire responsible party leadership that caused this unprecedented situation," and said, "Hold an elected members' general meeting immediately to elect a new floor leader and resolve the leadership vacuum centered on the new floor leader."

They continued, "In the situation of the party leadership collapse, the Youth ERC will take the initiative to create the innovation and change that the people have commanded," raising their voices, "We will pursue politics of the field, politics of communication, and politics of empathy, not just politics of words."
