[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] It is reported that President Yoon Seok-yeol met with Kwon Seong-dong, the acting leader of the People Power Party and floor leader, on the 10th to discuss measures to manage the situation following the disciplinary action against Representative Lee Jun-seok.

According to political circles on the 12th, President Yoon met with Floor Leader Kwon at an undisclosed location in Seoul on the 10th to discuss party management plans amid the vacancy of the party leader position.

At the meeting, Floor Leader Kwon explained that "the suspension of Representative Lee's party membership should be regarded as an accident rather than a vacancy of the party leader position." In response, President Yoon reportedly said, "It would be better to gather the opinions of the lawmakers and make a decision." The floor leader was confirmed as acting leader through the supreme council meeting, gatherings of first-term, second-term, and senior lawmakers, and a general assembly of lawmakers on the 11th, the day after meeting with President Yoon.
