[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] On the 20th, Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, and Bae Hyun-jin, Supreme Council member, clashed over whether to disclose closed meetings during the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly. Lee and Bae had previously conflicted over Ahn Cheol-soo's Supreme Council member nomination plan.

In his opening remarks that day, Lee said, "By the authority of the Supreme Council chair, from today onward, we will not discuss current issues in closed meetings," adding, "I have no further opening remarks. There have been situations where the contents of closed meetings are repeatedly quoted and reported by the media with quotation marks." In response, Council member Bae suggested, "It is not that we should avoid discussing current issues, but rather that closed meetings should be more strictly regulated so that necessary internal discussions within our party can continue healthily."

Floor leader Kwon Seong-dong tried to mediate between the two but ended the situation by banging the desk and saying, "Let's stop," and "We will hold closed meetings."
