[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] A message was captured in which President Yoon Seok-yeol referred to Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, as a "party leader who only engaged in internal backstabbing."


On the 26th, at the National Assembly plenary session, a photo was taken of a Telegram conversation on the cellphone of Kwon Seong-dong, the acting party leader and floor leader, with a contact labeled "President Yoon Seok-yeol."


While Kwon was looking at his phone during the afternoon's government questioning session, the conversation was spotted by a photojournalist seated in the gallery.


The sender, presumed to be President Yoon, wrote in the Telegram chat room, "Our party is doing well too. We should keep it this way," adding, "The party leader who only engaged in internal backstabbing has changed, so things have improved."


President Yoon's uncomfortable feelings toward Leader Lee were publicly revealed in the conversation with Acting Leader Kwon.


Kwon replied, "I will faithfully carry out the President's intentions and show a united front between the party and the government."



Following Kwon's response, a cherry-shaped emoticon with a thumbs-up appeared at the bottom of the chat window. The photo was taken while Kwon was typing "Together with Kang Ki-hoon" in the text input field.
