[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Kim Ki-hyun, a member of the People Power Party and a potential candidate for the next party leadership, stated on the 29th, "Extraordinary measures must be taken in extraordinary times." As dissatisfaction within the party grows regarding Kwon Seong-dong's dual role as acting party leader and floor leader under the 'one-top' system, public opinion is calling for the formation of an emergency response committee. Kim's direct mention of "extraordinary measures" has attracted attention.


On the same day, Kim posted on his Facebook, saying, "If we hesitate today, there will be no tomorrow," and added, "In extraordinary times, only by taking extraordinary measures can we survive."


Using examples such as population decline, housing prices, youth employment, and pension and labor reforms, Kim said, "At such a critical time, our party leadership is not helping President Yoon Seok-yeol, who is working hard, but rather adding to his burden, which weighs heavily on my heart." He emphasized, "Those responsible for leadership must always uphold the basic principles of putting the party before personal interests and prioritizing the party's welfare."



He reiterated, "Now is an emergency," and stated, "Emergency measures are necessary."
