[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, expressed a cautious stance on the 3rd regarding Kim Jong-in, the general election campaign committee chairman, announcing a complete reorganization of the campaign committee. Lee urged party members to approach the reorganization with a careful attitude.

Meeting with reporters in front of the party leader's office that day, Lee said, "Today is a very important day for the campaign committee to make several critical decisions and to avoid complicating each other's feelings. It is crucial to refrain from conditional or speculative remarks and to communicate openly and sincerely," adding, "All members must understand the gravity of the situation and act accordingly."

Regarding his return to the campaign committee, he avoided a direct answer, saying, "In the current situation, I believe no one should engage in hypothetical conversations." Lee, who had resigned from all positions within the campaign committee, had previously advocated for a complete reorganization. On this matter, he stated, "(The call for reorganization) is not a condition," and explained, "It was a suggestion for improvements based on my experience within the committee and should not be misunderstood as a conditional or prerequisite demand."

About Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party presidential candidate, who abruptly suspended his schedule, Lee said, "It will be a day of contemplation for the candidate as well," and added, "It will also be a day of reflection for me."

Regarding the recent decline in Yoon's approval ratings, Lee said, "I believe structural issues have played a role in the recent struggles," and added, "I judge that there were problems with the party and campaign committee strategies supporting the candidate's efforts." He further expressed confidence, saying, "Our candidate can naturally gain public support if provided with excellent assistance."

Meanwhile, concerning Shin Ji-ye, the recently resigned senior vice-chairperson of the New Era Preparation Committee, Lee stated, "At the time of her resignation from the campaign committee, I did not mention any specific individuals regarding the composition or personnel reshuffle."
