[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Kim Woong, a member of the People Power Party, said at a meeting opposing the transition to an emergency response committee, "We must take control of the party."

On the 3rd, Kim attended the 1st talk concert hosted by 'People Power Party Reform' (Gukbasae) and stated, "As we approach the party convention, if we establish a base and create allies, we will take control of the party and build a People Power Party that we can truly be proud of." Gukbasae is a group of party members opposing the party's transition to an emergency response committee.

Kim predicted that the People Power Party's Central Ethics Committee would proceed with additional disciplinary action against former party leader Lee Jun-seok. Kim said, "The discipline might be due to a breach of dignity, possibly because he used the phrase 'yangduguyuk' (a phrase meaning 'a wolf in sheep's clothing')," adding, "You may witness an unprecedented situation in Korean political history where a party leader is ousted over a metaphor."

He then referred to the so-called 'Yunhaekgwan' (key associates of President Yoon Seok-yeol), saying, "When you face those people, you need to watch your words. If you say 'choneolsalin' (a phrase meaning 'a sharp and witty remark'), they might imprison you for murder," adding, "It's acceptable to call former leader Lee a dictator, but if you call him the New Military Group, you will see a surprising world where that leads to disciplinary action."

Kim also said, "Ultimately, former leader Lee's original sin is being 'rude,' but has he ever been rude in front of the people? Is dancing and singing with the residents of Jindo rude? Is tapping the leader on the shoulder at an important public meeting rude? Or is it rude to criticize the leader politically because of differences?"
