[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The Party Central Ethics Committee, which will handle allegations of sexual bribery involving Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, will be held at 7 p.m. on the 22nd.

The People Power Party Central Ethics Committee stated in a press release that "the committee will be held at 7 p.m. to deliberate on matters for which disciplinary procedures were initiated following the committee resolution held on April 21."

They added, "At this meeting, the committee plans to review written explanations submitted by party members who were notified of the 'initiation of disciplinary procedures' based on the results of the April 21 meeting, and in accordance with the April 21 resolution and Article 14 (Duty of Cooperation) of the Ethics Committee Party Regulations, summon party member Kim Cheol-geun (Chief of Staff to the Party Leader) to the committee to proceed with fact-finding procedures."

Originally, the Central Ethics Committee was expected to hold a plenary session on the 24th or 27th, but the schedule has been moved up earlier than anticipated.

In April, the Ethics Committee decided to initiate disciplinary procedures over issues such as 'attempts to destroy evidence of sexual bribery' raised by civic groups. According to the People Power Party regulations, disciplinary actions are classified into four types: expulsion, recommendation to withdraw from the party, suspension of party membership rights, and warning.

Regarding this, Lee Jun-seok recently stated in a media interview that "even accepting a warning is difficult."
