The People Power Party announced on the 7th that it will not hold the Supreme Council meeting scheduled for the 8th. This is the second consecutive time following the meeting on the 4th.

Senior Spokesperson Yoo Sang-beom stated in the announcement on the 7th, "The Supreme Council meeting on the 8th will not be held," adding, "Since an Ethics Committee meeting is scheduled, we decided not to hold the meeting to dispel misunderstandings or concerns related to disciplinary procedures." The People Power Party holds Supreme Council meetings every Monday and Thursday.

The party's Ethics Committee meeting will be held at 4 p.m. on the 8th at the Yeouido party headquarters in Seoul. During this Ethics Committee meeting, disciplinary reviews for Supreme Council members Kim Jae-won and Tae Young-ho will take place. It is reported that both will attend the Ethics Committee to undergo the explanation procedure.

Supreme Council member Tae's disciplinary procedure was initiated by the Ethics Committee following his remarks related to the Jeju 4·3 incident, his harsh criticism of the Democratic Party, and the leaked recording that sparked controversy over the presidential office's 'nomination interference.'

Supreme Council member Kim is also undergoing disciplinary procedures due to controversial remarks such as opposing the inclusion of the May 18 spirit in the constitution, calling Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon the unifier of the right-wing, and referring to the Jeju 4·3 incident as a low-level memorial day.
