Lee Dal-gon, chairman of the Gyeongnam Provincial Party Committee, Seo Beom-su, chief secretary to the party leader, and others will accompany him.


At 10 a.m. on the day, Lee Jun-seok will pay respects at the National March 15 Democracy Cemetery, then move to the conference room on the 6th floor of the Changwon Convention Center to hold an "Emergency Meeting to Support Gyeongnam Provincial Administration" with People Power Party members of the National Assembly and party committee chairpersons in the province, Ha Byung-pil, acting governor of Gyeongnam, and related provincial government officials.
