[Asia Economy Reporters Hyunju Lee and Hyunji Kwon] Bae Hyun-jin, Supreme Council Member of the People Power Party, announced her resignation from the Supreme Council position on the 29th.

After concluding the Supreme Council meeting that day, Bae told reporters, "Since the Yoon Seok-yeol administration took office in May, the public had hopes and expectations for it to do well, but even after about 80 days, it has not shown a satisfactory performance or met those expectations."

She said, "As a member of the party leadership, I feel sorry to the party members and the public who have pointed out issues with much affection and passion," adding, "I must take responsibility, and if this is not addressed in time, it will cause greater confusion."

She continued, "I believe it is time to show responsibility as a member of the leadership," and said, "Now, as a member of the People Power Party's National Assembly and a former member of the party leadership, I will return to my position and quietly do my best behind the scenes to help our party regain vitality and work together with the new Yoon Seok-yeol government to regain momentum and show you a renewed image."
