[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] The People Power Party's Central Ethics Committee announced on the 19th that it "can no longer tolerate the ongoing internal political discord within the party" and will strictly review related matters for violations of maintaining dignity as party members.

The Central Ethics Committee issued a statement on the same day, saying, "In accordance with the party constitution and regulations, we will exercise the authority granted to us more strictly to 'strengthen the party's ethical awareness' and 'maintain discipline and promote morale.'

This statement is interpreted as an indirect reference to former leader Lee Jun-seok's harsh criticism of President Yoon Seok-yeol and the 'Yunhaekgwan (core associates of President Yoon)' through interviews and social media. The Ethics Committee emphasized, "Regardless of rank or status, any People Power Party member who publicly expresses their political stance and violates the party constitution, regulations, and ethics rules by damaging the party's dignity, insulting or defaming others, or repeatedly violating the maintenance of dignity as a party member by fostering chronic factional conflicts will be reviewed without exception."

Meanwhile, the Ethics Committee will begin disciplinary procedures against Assemblyman Kim Seong-won on the 22nd for his remark at a flood recovery site, "I hope it rains a bit. So the photos come out well."
