[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] Heo Kyung-young, the presidential candidate of the National Revolutionary Party, plans to appeal the court's decision to dismiss the injunction request banning the broadcast of the '4-person debate.'

A representative of Heo's campaign stated on the 30th, "We plan to resubmit with new evidence and arguments," expressing their intention to appeal.

They are scheduled to submit the appeal to the Seoul Western District Court around 11 a.m. on the 3rd, immediately after the Lunar New Year holiday.

A representative of Heo's campaign predicted, "Since it is the same matter, the result may be announced on the day of submission."

Earlier, the Civil Division 21 of the Seoul Western District Court (Chief Judge Park Byung-tae) dismissed the injunction request on the 28th, stating that "a considerable discretion of the media institution is recognized, and inviting only four people (Lee Jae-myung, Yoon Seok-yeol, Ahn Cheol-soo, Shim Sang-jung) is a reasonable distinction."

In response, Heo attempted to submit an appeal to the Seoul Western District Court around 5 p.m. on the 29th but postponed it temporarily due to procedural reasons.
