[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Yoon Hojung, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea and emergency committee chairman, presided over the final emergency committee meeting on the 30th, stating, "We will move forward without any gaps, putting COVID-19 prevention and livelihood recovery as the front wheels, and prosecution reform and media reform as the rear wheels." The Democratic Party will elect a new party leader and supreme council members at the party convention on the 2nd of next month to form a new leadership team.

At the emergency committee meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, Chairman Yoon said, "The Democratic Party will start anew, strongly unite under the new leadership, engage in fierce reform, and continuously reflect."

He added, "The emergency committee's activities will end with the election of the new leadership. After the defeat in the April 7 by-elections, we focused on stabilizing the party and listening to public opinion to establish a foundation for orderly innovation. We were also able to hear the valuable voices of small business owners, self-employed individuals, and youth. We will deeply engrave the words they shared with us and use them as a foundation to be reborn under the new leadership."

He continued, "Now, I will step down from the role of emergency committee chairman and return to being the floor leader. I will focus on close communication and cooperation while ensuring the unwavering promotion of livelihood reform tasks."
