[Asia Economy Reporters Lee Ji-eun and Kim Hye-min] Seong Il-jong, a member of the Future United Party, made a phone call to Joo Ho-young, the floor leader, requesting his return, but Joo indicated he did not intend to come back.

On the morning of the 17th, after a meeting of re-elected members of the United Party held at the National Assembly, Seong told reporters, "Joo Ho-young has no intention of returning, so we have to keep persuading him."

He said, "I spoke with Floor Leader Joo yesterday afternoon and asked if he would come back soon, but there was no response." Although Joo is known to be staying at a temple, he has remained silent about his exact location.

Seong added, "I plan to see him once this afternoon," and said, "When I told him I would visit, he told me 'Don't come.'"
