Jeon Yong-gi, spokesperson for the Democratic Party's preparatory committee, told reporters after the committee meeting on the 22nd, "The Democratic Party convention will be held on August 28 at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena."

He added, "The upcoming tasks include conducting subgroup discussions by division, followed by a plenary meeting to decide on the agenda, and then briefing everyone at that time. From the 21st to around the 30th of this month, regional committee chairs will collect opinions from party members through a party affairs development opinion-gathering process. The platform division will prepare a forum related to the party platform to enable the Democratic Party to fulfill its role as the opposition," he explained.

Regarding the contentious election methods for the leadership system, he said, "A Democratic Party lawmakers' workshop is scheduled for tomorrow (23rd) and the day after (24th).
