[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the Future United Party, criticized on the 15th regarding the National Assembly's organization, saying, "Why does the ruling party have to seize control of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee at all costs?" and "Are they trying to control the prosecution and judiciary because they have done so many wrong things?"

At the Emergency Committee meeting that day, Chairman Kim said, "Since the civilian government, for the past 30 years, the standing committee chairpersons have been distributed based on agreement between the ruling and opposition parties, and the Legislation and Judiciary Committee has been customarily assigned to the opposition party," adding, "With the emergence of a huge ruling party, they are attempting to break this tradition and monopolize the chairmanship, causing delays in the organization of the National Assembly, which is very concerning."

Chairman Kim stated, "If the huge ruling party pushes everything through with its power, democracy in the Republic of Korea will be destroyed," and emphasized, "It is said that the plenary session will be held to elect the standing committee chairpersons, so I urge the Speaker of the National Assembly to have a cool-headed mindset and make a rational decision for the development of Korean democracy."

Regarding North Korea, Chairman Kim expressed, "I am very concerned about the remarks made by Kim Yo-jong, First Deputy Director of the Workers' Party of North Korea," and said, "The government should declare its stance on inter-Korean relations with a stronger attitude."
