[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Song Young-gil, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, will have a 'Chimaek (chicken + beer)' meeting in Yeouido on the 7th to discuss bipartisan cooperation measures.

On the day, Song said at a Kwanhoon Club invitation debate held at the Press Center in Jung-gu, Seoul, in response to a question about the establishment of a 'Special Minister for Youth,' "There must be opposition party consent. The day after tomorrow, I am scheduled to have Chimaek with Lee Jun-seok, so I will talk about it."

Regarding the '86 retirement theory' raised inside and outside the political circle in connection with the 'Lee Jun-seok whirlwind,' he replied, "Even grandfathers remain, so it would be a bit much to tell the fathers to step down," adding, "When eating, you need fresh kimchi as well as aged kimchi, and sometimes wrapping aged kimchi with samgyeopsal makes it delicious, doesn't it?"

He added, "I fully welcome the Lee Jun-seok whirlwind phenomenon, and the old-fashioned culture must change. I will have candid conversations."
