[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jang Ye-chan, director of the Youth Foundation and a young politician within the ruling People Power Party, argued that the party should include a "state of emergency regulation" in its bylaws to address procedural defects, in response to the court's decision to suspend the duties of Emergency Response Committee Chairman Joo Ho-young, which was based on the judgment that no emergency situation warranting the transition to an Emergency Response Committee had occurred.

On the 26th, Jang stated on his social network service (SNS), "The core of the court ruling seems to be that the party bylaws do not clearly define the 'state of emergency regulation,' so the resolution to appoint the Emergency Response Committee Chairman based on an assumed emergency situation is considered a procedural violation."

He added, "However, it was specified that amending the party bylaws through the National Committee is not problematic," emphasizing, "Therefore, convening the Standing National Committee and passing a resolution at the National Committee to include the 'state of emergency regulation' in the party bylaws is the solution."

Jang further explained, "Afterward, if the emergency situation regulation is fulfilled based on the party bylaws and the Emergency Response Committee Chairman is appointed, the procedural defects pointed out by the court will be remedied," adding, "As the government focuses on people's livelihoods and steadily moves forward, even if it takes time, if party members unite to prevent greater confusion, any problem can be resolved."
