[Asia Economy Reporters Koo Chae-eun, Park Joon-yi] Woo Sang-ho, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized on the 1st, saying, "The ruling party's internal affairs are complicated, and waves of crisis continue to hit the livelihood economy, but President Yoon Seok-yeol and Assemblyman Ahn Cheol-soo are leisurely enjoying their vacations, which is frustrating."

At the Emergency Response Committee meeting that day, Chairman Woo said, "I cannot dictate the ruling party's internal affairs, but I am concerned that the preparation of parliamentary measures to overcome the livelihood crisis may be delayed or drift," expressing his concerns.

Regarding the report that Kwon Seong-dong, floor leader of the People Power Party, announced his resignation from the acting party leader position, he said, "There are reports that President Yoon Seok-yeol intervened and conveyed his intention. If true, this is a serious matter," and pointed out, "If this continues, all situations of the ruling party will ultimately be the president's responsibility."

He continued, "Then questions such as 'Will the president also appoint the successor Emergency Response Committee chairman? Is the ruling party's Emergency Response Committee chairman an appointee of the president?' may arise," and said, "The president should step away from politics and focus on the people's livelihood."

Chairman Woo urged, "A vacation could be an opportunity to design a new national administration plan, but from the people's perspective, anxiety is growing," and called for "early reform or recovery."
