[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] On the 4th, Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, responded that he "finds it difficult to agree" with the view describing Kim Jong-in, the general election committee chairman, announcing a full reorganization of the election committee as a 'coup'.

At a meeting with reporters in front of the party leader's office that day, Lee said regarding reports that Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, condemned Kim's full reorganization of the election committee as a 'coup', "We will see, but it is a surprising statement," and added, "The perception that the actions of the general election committee chairman with full authority are a coup is something I find difficult to agree with."

Kim Yong-nam, the People Power Party's standing public relations special advisor who has been at odds with Lee, also mentioned on TBS's 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory' in response to the question, "Was yesterday's event a coup by Chairman Kim?" that "If you look inside, there is such an aspect of a (coup)."

Meanwhile, regarding mentions that some within the party are demanding he clarify his position, Lee said, "If they come and speak to me, I will discuss it."
