[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] On the 1st, the United Future Party gathered the opinions of its affiliated members of the National Assembly one last time ahead of the Standing National Committee meeting to revise the party name and platform policies.

The new party name selected by the Emergency Response Committee, 'Gukminui Him' (People Power), is expected to be submitted to the Standing National Committee as originally proposed after the opinion gathering process.

During the members' meeting that day, Kim Jong-in, the Emergency Committee Chairman, told reporters, "There are no objections regarding the party name." Immediately after the meeting, Floor Spokesperson Bae Hyunjin stated, "Party names are always unfamiliar, so there are bound to be many differing opinions. It was the same when deciding on the United Future Party," adding, "Overall, many opinions were that it is a fresh challenge and good."

However, no conclusion was reached on the revisions to the platform and policies, including the four-term limit on consecutive service, separate collection of KBS license fees, and the consolidation of metropolitan and basic council members. The United Future Party decided to compile the opinions from the members' meeting and deliver them to the Emergency Committee, which will make the final decision on whether to amend them.

Floor Spokesperson Bae said, "Since the content itself is quite detailed for communication during the members' meeting, it was suggested that further discussion is needed, so the Emergency Committee will share opinions," adding, "We will request that the opinions communicated during the members' meeting be reflected in the Emergency Committee." He added, "The Emergency Committee will organize and make a statement."
