[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 26th, the Future Korea Party announced that it "resolves to unite with its sibling party, the United Future Party."

Incumbent lawmakers of the Korea Party and the elected members of the 21st National Assembly held a joint meeting at the National Assembly in the afternoon and stated, "The Korea Party is a party created and reported to the people as a form of self-defense against the 'ragtag election evil law' forged by power and collusion," adding, "It promised to return after the April 15 general election from the moment it was born. Now, the Korea Party intends to fulfill the promise made to the people."

They said, "The unprecedented election evil law, the semi-proportional representation system, must be abolished immediately," and urged the ruling party to "diligently work on revising the election law as soon as the 21st National Assembly convenes."

They added, "In the last general election, the people wielded a severe whip against the opposition parties. We will change everything until the harsh whip turns into warm encouragement," and said, "We will boldly discard outdated customs and practices that do not meet the times. We will engage in politics that soothes the people's pain, wipes away their tears, keeps pace with the times, and makes eye contact with the people."
