[Asia Economy Reporters Hyunju Lee and Hyunji Kwon] Joo Ho-young, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, announced that the timing of the party convention and other matters will be discussed at the upcoming lawmakers' retreat scheduled for the 25th.

On the 22nd, at the National Assembly, Joo met with reporters after the Emergency Response Committee meeting and said, "I expressed my opinion that it would be around late January to early February after the regular National Assembly session ends."

However, Chairman Joo stated, "The schedule for the party convention can be finalized once uncertain factors such as injunction issues are resolved."

When asked whether candidate registration would begin in December this year to hold the party convention between January and February next year, he replied, "I think we will gather the consensus of party members considering all those factors."

President Yoon Seok-yeol may also attend this retreat. Chairman Joo said, "I believe that interacting with ruling party lawmakers, who are a major pillar of national governance, and listening to their policy opinions is not something to neglect over other livelihood issues," adding, "Since it is not just a dinner gathering but a sincere conversation, I think the president attending such lawmakers' meetings to listen to opinions and express his own should happen frequently."
