[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jeong Jin-seok, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, called on the Democratic Party, which declared a "complete suspension of the National Assembly audit," to "fully resume the National Assembly audit," while also pressuring Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung to "make a decision."

On the 21st, Jeong posted on his social network service (SNS), "Leader Lee chose a 'jade break' (옥쇄, ok-swae) with Democratic Party lawmakers to avoid his own judicial risks. To prevent his own ship from shaking, I am reminded of Cao Cao's linked rings strategy (連環計, Yeonhwan-gye) that ties all ships together," he said.

He added, "Please fully resume the National Assembly audit even today. Only then can our National Assembly prepare for the budget session starting next week and take care of the people's livelihood," and requested, "Leader Lee, please make a decision. Release the shackles you have placed on the lawmakers."

Jeong warned, "If Leader Lee does not lift the ok-swae strategy and the linked rings strategy, the Democratic Party will sink along with Lee Jae-myung as a private individual," urging Lee's decision by saying, "What will Leader Lee gain by fighting against the prosecution and the truth?"
