[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Joo Ho-young, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, expressed that he is "very perplexed" by the court's decision to suspend his duties on the 26th.

In a statement released that day, Chairman Joo said, "It is a violation of the constitutional spirit of party autonomy for the judiciary to deny and regulate internal decisions of a political party. The court's provisional injunction decision today, stating that the People Power Party is not in an emergency situation, is unacceptable," he stated.

On the same day, the 51st Civil Division of the Seoul Southern District Court decided that the duties of Chairman Joo should be suspended until a final ruling is made on the main case regarding the provisional injunction application filed by former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok against the People Power Party and Chairman Joo.

In response, Chairman Joo said, "The provisional injunction decision today, stating that the People Power Party is not in an emergency situation, is unacceptable. It is appropriate for the party itself to judge whether there is an emergency situation," adding, "We will gather opinions within the party and prepare a response plan."
