[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Kim Byung-min, a member of the People Power Party's emergency committee, took a critical stance on the possibility of former representative Lee Jun-seok's 'UN appeal,' saying, "I hope they consider whether it is appropriate to discuss allegations such as sexual bribery, which led to the disciplinary action, with the international community."

On the 22nd, Kim appeared on BBS Radio's 'Jeon Young-shin's Morning Journal' and said, "If there were issues during the disciplinary process, there would be ways to seek redress through appeals or retrials, but without pursuing such measures, the UN appeal is unlikely to materialize."

He added, "In the past, there were mentions of UN appeals regarding Choi Soon-sil, who caused a national scandal, because she was not given books while in solitary confinement, but I recall there was little public support. It is important to consider how to proceed with subsequent plans now that former representative Lee has accepted the party's disciplinary action."

Regarding the nearly 30% public opinion favoring Lee's 'new party formation,' he pointed out the flaws in the polling method, saying, "There are parties I support, such as the (Democratic) Party, the People Power Party, and the Justice Party, but regardless of whether one supports a party or not, the question was simply whether they agree or disagree with Lee's new party formation." He evaluated, "Because this can be interpreted as unrelated to party support or the current political climate, it is not a very meaningful poll."
