[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Hong Joon-pyo, Mayor of Daegu, strongly expressed concern on the 2nd about the People Power Party's plan to change its leadership system to an emergency response committee. He also predicted that if Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, files an injunction regarding the transition to the emergency committee, "it is likely to be accepted."

On the same day, through social media (SNS), Mayor Hong said, "If the leadership has already become a wreck and lost the momentum to lead the party, the leadership should resign en masse, re-elect the floor leader, and entrust the new floor leader with the authority to form the leadership until the party leader's position is decided. Forming an emergency response committee during this period would be a common-sense solution without legal disputes." He added, "It is truly regrettable why they keep trying to break through with tricks."

He said, "It is not without reason that the reasonable Seo Byung-soo, chairman of the National Committee, refuses to convene the National Committee, and if Leader Lee files an injunction, it seems this time it will be accepted." He added, "It is regrettable why they are driving the party into confusion by such reckless foolish acts."

He said, "Is it right to push the party into chaos just because they don't like Leader Lee Jun-seok?" and "Will the president's approval rating recover that way?"
