[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] On the 23rd, Kim Jin-pyo, Speaker of the National Assembly, finalized the list of members for the 'Itaewon Disaster Special Committee for National Investigation' allocated to the three opposition parties including the Democratic Party of Korea.

According to the National Assembly, Speaker Kim notified the appointment of the special committee members from the three opposition parties through an official document in the afternoon.

From the Democratic Party, members Kwon Chil-seung, Kim Gyo-heung, Shin Hyun-young, Woo Sang-ho, Yoon Gun-young, Lee Hae-sik, Cho Eung-cheon, Jin Sun-mi, and Cheon Jun-ho were appointed. From the Justice Party, member Jang Hye-young will participate, and from the Basic Income Party, member Yong Hye-in will join.

The People Power Party did not submit a list by the deadline, so it was not included in this official document. However, at the party meeting held that morning, the party decided as its official stance to conduct the national investigation after the passage of next year's budget, so related discussions are expected to proceed swiftly.

On the same day in the afternoon, Ahn Ho-young, chief spokesperson of the Democratic Party, told reporters, "We intend to further persuade and make efforts so that the People Power Party can participate."
