[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] The National Assembly Ethics Review Advisory Committee is expected to recommend the expulsion of People Power Party lawmaker Park Deok-heum and independent lawmakers Yoon Mi-hyang and Lee Sang-jik to the National Assembly Ethics Special Committee.


According to political circles on the 5th, the advisory committee reportedly passed a resolution for the expulsion of Park Deok-heum, Yoon Mi-hyang, and Lee Sang-jik during its meeting.


Earlier, on November 11 last year, the Ethics Special Committee submitted a disciplinary request against them and referred it to the advisory committee. The advisory committee is a consultative body for the Ethics Special Committee, which is responsible for reviewing the qualifications and disciplinary actions of National Assembly members, and is composed of eight external members.



When the advisory committee issues a disciplinary opinion, the special committee forwards it to the Disciplinary Review Subcommittee for deliberation, and then the full committee decides on the disciplinary measures and severity. The special committee's disciplinary proposal is finalized after approval by the plenary session.
