[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 28th, Jeong Jin-seok, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, said to Kim Eui-gyeom, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea who raised allegations that President Yoon Seok-yeol and Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon had a late-night drinking party with Kim & Chang lawyers, "Shouldn't such a person be expelled?"

On the same day, after a joint meeting of key party officials held at the Chungnam Provincial Party Office in the morning, he told reporters, "I’m not sure if that’s sane behavior... (I don’t know)."

Chairman Jeong said, "How can such conduct be brazenly carried out in the National Assembly meeting hall?" and added, "Isn’t that person a former journalist? I am also a former journalist. Shouldn’t there be at least some fact-finding? I don’t understand." Member Kim was formerly a reporter for the Hankyoreh newspaper.

The People Power Party Emergency Committee held a joint meeting of key party officials at the Chungnam Provincial Party Office on the same day and asked party members to unite their strength, saying, "Protect Yoon Seok-yeol, the son of Chungcheong." Chairman Jeong said at the meeting, "It’s not over until it’s over. The regime change is not yet complete," and added, "I believe the people of Chungcheong will raise the whip to show who is upholding the rule of law and who is undermining it."

This meeting was the second regional on-site meeting of Chairman Jeong’s Emergency Committee following Daegu, and it was postponed once due to the prosecution’s search of the Democratic Research Institute on the 20th.
