[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party converted the special lecture for Yeongnam region council members, scheduled for the 18th, to a non-face-to-face format.

Kim Eun-hye, spokesperson for the United Future Party, stated on the 17th, "To prevent the spread of COVID-19, the special lecture for Yeongnam region council members, originally planned as an in-person lecture in Daegu tomorrow, will be changed to an online non-face-to-face lecture."

She added, "The United Future Party plans to minimize the number of people accompanying the visits to Daegu tomorrow and Gwangju on the 19th and to faithfully implement social distancing, in active cooperation with the government's quarantine policies to prevent COVID-19. We will ask for understanding from the 600 council members by broadcasting the lecture live on YouTube."

The United Future Party plans to visit Gwangju on the 19th to pay respects at the May 18 Democratic Cemetery. Attention is focused on whether an apology will be made at this event, as Kim Jong-in, the emergency committee chairman of the United Future Party, has expressed his intention to apologize for the imprisonment of former Presidents Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak.
