[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] On the 19th, Jeong Jin-seok, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, stated, "We have determined that we cannot hold the party convention without filling the 68 accident-affected district party committees." This reflects the opinion that organizational maintenance cannot be neglected until the new leadership is elected, but criticism of "line-up" is emerging within the party.

Chairman Jeong attended a luncheon event in the morning, invited by the president, along with district party committee chairpersons outside the National Assembly. He said, "The atmosphere was warm and friendly, and since they were the main figures who led the presidential election victory, the president personally encouraged the district party committee chairpersons outside the National Assembly," adding, "The chant of Yoon Seok-yeol's name was heard three times."

He conveyed, "The president said, 'The people have created the new government. Let us respond to the people's will with the united strength of the party and government, looking only to the people.'" A district party committee chairperson outside the National Assembly also said in a phone call, "The president apologized for not being able to meet with us earlier and said he would make time for communication," adding, "There was no talk about the party convention, and the event proceeded in a warm atmosphere."

Kim Yong-tae, former Supreme Council member during former leader Lee Jun-seok's tenure and district party committee chairperson of Gwangmyeong Eul, was reportedly absent from the luncheon. Kim said, "I could not attend due to circumstances."
