Ye Young-guk "Justice Party cannot sit back here... Proper reflection, not attached to the leadership position"

15th Emergency Meeting of the Justice Party
Representative Yeoyoungguk: "We Will Do Anything for the Justice Party's Mission to Protect Citizens' Lives"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] On the 15th, Yeo Young-guk, leader of the Justice Party, stated, "The Justice Party stands at a critical crossroads, whether to collapse or to rise again," adding, "As party leader, I will accept any reflection, including personnel reform. I will not cling to the leadership position myself."

On the same day, during an emergency joint meeting held at the party headquarters in the afternoon, Leader Yeo said, "I will properly reflect on what needs to be fixed."

Leader Yeo emphasized, "Candidate Sim Sang-jung has suspended her election campaign. I deeply feel the responsibility as the leader," and added, "However difficult and challenging it may be, the Justice Party cannot collapse here."

He said, "The mission of the progressive party, which has been a safeguard for citizens' lives through free school meals, the enactment of the Commercial Lease Protection Act, and basic old-age pensions, cannot be halted," and added, "The candidate will never give up the weight she bore, saying it was her final duty."

Leader Yeo said, "We will rise again. I will properly reflect on what needs to be fixed," and "I will find out what efforts are necessary to approach the desperate lives of citizens."

He then appealed to the public, saying, "Please create a presidential election with Sim Sang-jung, not a presidential election without Sim Sang-jung."

The Justice Party plans to prepare a reform plan for the election committee at the meeting and deliver it to candidate Sim, who has been in seclusion since the 12th.
