[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Kim Jong-in, the Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, will meet with senior party members with four or more terms at a restaurant in Yeouido on the evening of the 8th. This is interpreted as an effort to manage the dissatisfaction recently expressed publicly by some senior party members toward the emergency committee and to emphasize unity.
Attendees at the dinner are expected to include Floor Leader Joo Ho-young, as well as Seo Byung-soo, Chung Jin-suk, Cho Kyung-tae (5 terms), Kwon Seong-dong, Kwon Young-se, Kim Ki-hyun, Park Jin, Lee Myung-soo, and Hong Moon-pyo (4 terms).
Discussions at this meeting are expected to focus on strategies for next year's by-elections for the Seoul and Busan mayoral offices. Chairman Kim also held a series of meetings with senior members from Seoul and Busan on the 2nd to discuss by-election strategies.
