[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] Jeong Jin-seok, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, said on the 8th that he is "very regretful" about former representative Lee Jun-seok's injunction request to suspend the duties of the Emergency Response Committee Chairman.

After finishing Chuseok greetings at Seoul Station in the afternoon, Chairman Jeong met with reporters and said, "It was expected, but I feel that former representative Lee Jun-seok no longer intends to be with our People Power Party."

He added, "By continuously filing such injunction requests, it has inevitably hindered the smooth start of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration and caused dysfunction. I think he has crossed the point of no return."

Regarding former representative Lee's comment in a media interview that "Jeong Jin-seok's Emergency Response Committee is a comedy," Chairman Jeong smiled and avoided responding, saying, "I will no longer respond to each remark made by former representative Lee Jun-seok."

When asked if he intended to meet with former representative Lee to reconcile the conflict, he replied, "Well," adding, "The situation has progressed too far to expect a positive outcome, so I feel very regretful."

Former representative Lee's legal team submitted an injunction request to the Seoul Southern District Court on the same day, asking to suspend the execution of Chairman Jeong's duties and the validity of the National Committee's resolution appointing Chairman Jeong.

Previously, an injunction request filed by former representative Lee against former Emergency Response Committee Chairman Joo Ho-young to suspend his duties was accepted on the 26th of last month, leading to the total resignation of the then Emergency Response Committee and the revision of related party rules, after which the 'Jeong Jin-seok Emergency Response Committee' was launched again.
