[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 12th, Won Yoo-chul, leader of the Future Korea Party, commented on the allegations of embezzlement of donations by the Justice and Memory Solidarity (Jeonguiyeondae), stating, "Jeonguiyeondae and Yoon Mi-hyang, the elected member of the Democratic Party of Korea, should not damage the honor of Grandmother Lee Yong-soo by questioning her health and should take the lead in resolving the suspicions." He added, "No NGO discloses donation details thoroughly, but since accounting errors have been acknowledged, if they are confident, they should disclose the detailed expenditure records."

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Leader Won said, "The life of an NGO is morality, so this should be taken as an opportunity to strengthen transparency."

Leader Won criticized, "The Democratic Party suddenly raised suspicions of prior collusion by the Korea Party but has failed to present any evidence. This is a typical diversion tactic that clouds the issue and is audacious," adding, "The Democratic Party should immediately apologize for mentioning the Korea Party without grounds. The Democratic Party should not be hasty in defending but actively investigate the facts and take responsibility."

Regarding the election law, Leader Won urged, "The semi-proportional representation election law, which increased public confusion in the April 15 general election, must be repealed immediately," and repeatedly called for the ruling and opposition parties to hold a '2+2 talks.'

After the Supreme Council meeting, Leader Won told reporters about the merger with the United Future Party, "The merger with the United Future Party will definitely happen," and said, "Since the leadership of the United Future Party has been newly elected, I will communicate with Floor Leader Joo Ho-young to discuss the method, timing, and procedures of the merger."

When asked if the '2+2 talks' are a prerequisite for the merger, Leader Won replied, "That is not the case," and added, "The merger issue is a matter between the Korea Party and the United Future Party."
