[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Hyun-ji] Kwon Seong-dong, Acting Party Leader and Floor Leader of the People Power Party, stated on the 4th regarding the appointment of the Emergency Response Committee Chair, "We are in the process of gathering opinions, so no decision has been made yet."

Acting Leader Kwon made these remarks to reporters after visiting a jjokbangchon (small room village) in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, on the same day. He had previously mentioned on the 2nd that he was meeting with groups of lawmakers by seniority to hear their opinions for the appointment of the Emergency Response Committee Chair.

However, he refrained from commenting on the request made by Seo Byung-soo, Chair of the People Power Party's National Committee, the day before, who asked Acting Leader Kwon to "clarify the nature of the Emergency Response Committee and the regulations on how long it will remain."

He also remained silent on questions related to Representative Lee Jun-seok. When asked about the "automatic dismissal of Representative Lee upon the launch of the Emergency Response Committee" and "Lee's legal response," Acting Leader Kwon left without answering.

On the same day, Acting Leader Kwon held a luncheon with some three-term lawmakers within the party to discuss party issues including the launch of the Emergency Response Committee. Attendees included Representatives Kim Sang-hoon, Park Dae-chul, Lee Jong-bae, Lee Chae-ik, and Ha Tae-kyung.
