[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 13th, the People Power Party held a Standing National Committee meeting and passed the appointment plan for the Emergency Response Committee members appointed by Emergency Response Committee Chairman Jeong Jin-seok.

Yoon Doo-hyun, acting chairperson of the National Committee, announced after the vote on the Emergency Response Committee appointment plan, "The total number of members in the 8th Standing National Committee is 53, and for approval, more than half, at least 27 members, must participate in the vote, and at least 14 must vote in favor." He added, "Out of the 53 members, 39 participated in the vote, constituting a quorum. With 38 in favor and 1 against, I declare the plan approved as proposed."

Chairman Jeong announced the Emergency Response Committee member appointment plan that day. Initially, the plan included three-term lawmaker Kim Sang-hoon and two-term lawmaker Jeong Jeom-sik from the National Assembly, former Emergency Response Committee member Joo Ki-hwan from outside the Assembly, Kim Jong-hyuk, spokesperson of the Innovation Committee, former Blue House spokesperson Kim Haeng, and former Emergency Response Committee member Kim Byung-min. However, about an hour and 30 minutes after the announcement, former Emergency Response Committee member Joo Ki-hwan expressed his intention to resign, and lawmaker Jeon Ju-hye was finally named as an Emergency Response Committee member.

Park Hyung-soo, the People Power Party floor spokesperson, reversed the personnel decision that day, explaining, "Initially, we asked our party’s lawmaker Lee Yong-ho to serve as the Emergency Response Committee member representing Honam, but he declined, so former member Joo was assigned as the Honam representative. However, today, former member Joo expressed a sincere intention to resign, so we appointed lawmaker Jeon, whose hometown is Gwangju, as the member."

Subsequently, the Standing National Committee proceeded as scheduled, and the appointment plan including lawmaker Jeon was passed.
