[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Kim Jong-min, a Supreme Council Member of the Democratic Party of Korea, has entered self-quarantine after being classified as a close contact of a confirmed case of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).


According to the Democratic Party on the 28th, Kim took a COVID-19 test around 5 p.m. the previous day. This was after a person he met at a studio on the evening of the 23rd, where he appeared on a YouTube broadcast, tested positive.


Accordingly, Lee Nak-yeon, the party leader, Kim Tae-nyeon, the floor leader, and Yoon Ho-jung, the chairman of the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee, will also remain at home until Kim's test results are released. They were at the same location on the 25th attending an emergency meeting of the Judiciary Committee.



The party postponed the Supreme Council meeting originally scheduled for the morning to the afternoon to wait for the test results.
