[Asia Economy reporters Lee Ji-eun and Lee Hyun-joo] On the 31st, Seo Byung-soo, chairman of the People Power Party's National Committee who held the authority to convene the Standing National Committee for the establishment of a new Emergency Countermeasures Committee, announced his intention to resign. The authority to convene and the chairing rights were succeeded by Vice Chairmen Yoon Doo-hyun and Jeong Dong-man. Yoon stated, "There is a 50% chance it will be convened."

On the same day, as Yoon was leaving Seo Byung-soo’s office, he told reporters, "I will clarify my position once the convening request is received," indicating this stance.

Earlier, Seo resigned as chairman of the National Committee, saying, "In the event of a vacancy in the chairmanship of the National Committee, the vice chairman has the authority to convene," and added, "As long as the chairman holds the position, the vice chairman convening the meeting would cause much controversy, so to eliminate that controversy, it is appropriate for me to resign."

Accordingly, Yoon and Jeong will decide whether to convene the meeting. Yoon said, "He (Seo) apologized for passing the cross to me," and added, "We reviewed the National Committee together."
