[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Cho Su-jin, Supreme Council Member of the People Power Party, announced on the 21st that she will step down from her position in Yoon Seok-yeol's presidential campaign headquarters.

Cho stated through SNS that evening, "As of this moment, I will resign from the positions of Vice Chairman and Public Relations Director of the Central Campaign Headquarters."

This came about four hours after Lee Jun-seok, who had a direct confrontation with Cho over the campaign command structure, declared at a press conference that he would "resign from all positions within the campaign headquarters," including stepping down as the Standing Campaign Chairman.

Previously, at a closed campaign meeting the day before, Cho had expressed opposition with the sentiment, "Why should I listen to the party leader? I only listen to the candidate," to which Lee responded, "If you are not the Standing Campaign Chairman, whose orders are you following?" leading to a heated exchange.

Cho visited the party leader's office that day to apologize and waited for about an hour and a half, but the meeting was canceled as Lee headed straight to the press conference.

Cho said, "I sincerely apologize to the people and party members who long for a regime change," adding, "I will serve quietly for the sake of regime change."
