[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Yoon Sang-hyun, an independent lawmaker formerly of the United Future Party, raised his voice urging Kim Tae-nyeon, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, to visit Joo Ho-young, the floor leader of the United Future Party who is currently in seclusion.

On the 18th, through Facebook, Rep. Yoon said, "Floor Leader Kim should go to the mountain temple where Floor Leader Joo is staying and restore dialogue politics as soon as possible."

He stated, "North Korea's provocations and threats continue daily, and people's livelihoods are in ruins due to COVID-19. We are facing a national crisis both internally and externally, and it is truly embarrassing if the National Assembly is seen as only engaging in power struggles. The National Assembly can no longer stand by. It must resume normal operations as soon as possible to conduct a comprehensive review of the security line, including defense, unification, and diplomacy, and prepare countermeasures for any emergencies."

Rep. Yoon emphasized, "The ruling party's arrogance in securing an absolute majority to control parliamentary committees at will and the opposition's boycott of the National Assembly are childish tantrums in the face of a national crisis. To avoid repeating the foolish history of the Joseon court on the eve of the Imjin War 428 years ago, when they stayed up all night fighting party battles, paid no attention to national defense, and underestimated the Japanese invaders as mere 'Wae-gu (Japanese pirates)' rather than 'Wae-gun (Japanese army)', the ruling and opposition parties must quickly resume normal operations of the National Assembly."

Earlier, on the 15th, Rep. Yoon held a press conference at the National Assembly and proposed dispatching conservative opposition figures as special envoys to North Korea.
