[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] The People Power Party's election campaign committee canceled the joint campaign committee chairman Noh Jae-seung's broadcast speech on the party platform and policies, which was scheduled for the afternoon of the 9th.

Lee Yang-su, the senior spokesperson of the campaign committee, said in a phone call with Asia Economy on the same day, "It is true that the joint campaign committee chairman Noh's broadcast speech on the party platform and policies, which was scheduled for the afternoon, has been canceled."

The pre-recorded broadcast speech by joint campaign committee chairman Noh on the party platform and policies was scheduled to be aired on KBS from 3:40 PM that day. Regarding the reason for the cancellation, Lee said, "That has not been confirmed yet."

Earlier that morning, the campaign leadership had taken the stance of observing the situation regarding Chairman Noh for the time being. Kwon Seong-dong, the secretary-general, said, "He still has a bright future ahead, and since he admitted his past remarks were wrong, let's watch for a while. If we observe for a few days, the answer will come out," adding, "I don't think there is a need to make a hasty decision." Presidential candidate Yoon Seok-youl also said, "I told them to Google all the remarks (by joint campaign committee chairman Noh) so far and watch for a while," and added, "Don't be impatient."

The status of joint campaign committee chairman Noh has not yet been decided. Lee, the senior spokesperson, said, "We are watching until he makes a decision himself."

Joint campaign committee chairman Noh gained attention for his support speech for candidate Oh Se-hoon during the April 7 Seoul mayoral by-election. He was recruited as a joint campaign committee chairman on the 6th but has been embroiled in controversy over past remarks that belittled the May 18 Democratic Uprising and disparaged independence activist Kim Gu.
