[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] On the 8th, Kwon Seong-dong, floor leader of the People Power Party, held a press conference at the National Assembly announcing his resignation from the floor leader position. Kwon said, "I have long been determined to resign, but since there were tasks to be done as floor leader for revising the party constitution and rules and transitioning to a new emergency committee, I had no choice but to reveal my intention only now," adding, "I will humbly accept criticism that my resignation is too late."



Kwon has faced responsibility for the party's crisis due to incidents such as the leak of 'internal criticism' messages.
