[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Kim Yong-tae, a former Supreme Youth Member of the People Power Party classified as part of the 'Pro-Lee Jun-seok' faction, expressed his position of "respecting" the provisional injunction application decision made by former leader Lee Jun-seok.

On the 10th, Kim, the former Supreme Member, stated on his Facebook, "I respect Leader Lee Jun-seok's decision to apply for a provisional injunction," adding, "Although various speculative rumors are rampant in the media, Leader Lee is pursuing his politics, and I am pursuing mine."

He continued, "Even if our thoughts and methods differ, I respect the leader's choice," emphasizing, "I declare that I will respect whatever judgment the court makes."

On the same day, former leader Lee filed a provisional injunction application to suspend effectiveness against the People Power Party and Emergency Response Committee Chairman Joo Ho-young at the Seoul Southern District Court. Unlike Lee, Kim decided not to apply for the provisional injunction. Kim had planned a press conference at the National Assembly the previous day but canceled it due to continuous heavy rain. He said, "As a responsible member of the conservative party, I will cancel the press conference amid the heavy rain situation equivalent to a national disaster," adding, "At this moment, I considered what is important for the country, the people, and the party."

Along with this, Kim said, "I will not apply for the provisional injunction," but added, "However, I will do my best to protect the party's democracy and procedural democracy."
