[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-seop] On the afternoon of the 4th, former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok announced that he would hold a press conference and a Q&A session with party members and citizens in the Daegu area.

In a post on Facebook that morning, the former leader previewed that he would meet local party members and citizens in the form of a press conference at 2 p.m. in front of the Kim Kwang-seok statue on Kim Kwang-seok Street, Daebong-dong, Jung-gu, Daegu.

This is the first time the former leader has publicly expressed his position on current issues since the court's provisional injunction decision on the 26th of last month to suspend Joo Ho-young, the emergency committee chairman, from his duties. From the day after the court decision, the former leader has stayed in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk (TK) region, traveling between Chilgok, Gyeongbuk, and Daegu.

The former leader wrote, “Nearly 700 people applied via Google Form, so unlike other regions where the Daegu meeting was held as a meal gathering, I plan to have a time to freely receive and answer questions along with the press conference. Those who want to get autographs or take photos are asked to come by 1:30 p.m.”

On this day, the former leader is expected to express his position on issues such as the additional provisional injunction application against the People Power Party emergency committee, the party ethics committee's indication of additional disciplinary actions, and the issue of the retreat of Yoon's core aides (key figures close to President Yoon Seok-yeol) to secondary roles.
