[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] The People Power Party will hold a two-day, one-night workshop for members of the National Assembly on the 25th and 26th. This workshop, the first since the new government took office, is expected to focus on finding solutions to various crises, including the declining approval ratings of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration and the transition to an emergency response committee system.

According to the People Power Party on the 25th, the workshop will be held from the afternoon of the 25th through the 26th at the Talent Education Research Institute in Cheonan, Chungnam. The event will be attended not only by members of the National Assembly affiliated with the People Power Party but also by government officials at the ministerial and vice-ministerial levels and personnel from the Presidential Office.

On the first day, writer Lee Ji-sung, Professor Kim Yong-ha of Soonchunhyang University, and former National Assembly member Yoon Hee-sook, formerly of the Korea Development Institute (KDI), will each give lectures on the themes of "How to Create a Political Party That Cannot Be Replaced by Artificial Intelligence," "Issues and Directions of Pension Reform," and "The Revitalized Korean Economy," respectively.

Following the lectures, members of each standing committee and related ministers and vice ministers will gather for breakout discussions. On the 26th, related breakout discussions and free discussions are planned.

Since the ruling party transitioned to an emergency response committee system early in the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, and conflicts with former party leader Lee Jun-seok have intensified during this process, the People Power Party is expected to focus on ways to "normalize the momentum of state affairs" at the workshop. In addition, they are likely to discuss response strategies based on the court's decision regarding the "injunction to suspend the effectiveness of the emergency response committee" filed by former leader Lee against the party.

They also plan to discuss the timing of the party convention, one of the most sensitive issues within the party. Emergency Response Committee Chairperson Joo Ho-young had previously announced that the timing of the party convention would be discussed at the workshop. Within the party, opinions vary on the timing of the convention, including late September to early October, immediately after the National Assembly audit, December, or early next year.
