Lee Gi-in "The Democratic Party proposes Lee Jun-seok as the head of the election committee"... Lee Jun-seok "No direct contact"

Lee Gi-in, a Gyeonggi Province assemblyman and close aide to former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok, claimed that "the Presidential Office and the People Power Party leadership have proposed to Lee Jun-seok the positions of emergency committee chairman or election committee chairman." In response, Lee Jun-seok said, "I have not been contacted directly."

On the 13th, Lee Jun-seok stated on his social media service (SNS), "No one in a responsible position has directly contacted me so far, and I have not made any demands either. I have only spoken about changes in the President's governing style," he said.

Lee Gi-in, a close aide to Lee Jun-seok, said on BBS Radio's "Jeon Young-shin's Morning Journal" in response to the host's question, "Was there an offer for the emergency committee chairman or election committee chairman position?" "I understand that there was. I heard that approaches were made through various channels," adding, "Do they think that Lee Jun-seok or those who talk about party reform are asking for such trivial party leadership positions and powers like emergency committee chairman or election committee chairman?"

However, Lee Jun-seok explained that no one has directly said such things to him. He said, "Recently, many inquiries like 'What does Lee Jun-seok want?' have been made through various channels to people close to me, and I understand that many probing questions and proposals have come up in the process. Also, since Innovation Committee Chairman In Yo-han has been pouring out words about entrusting me with important responsibilities, in that context, Assemblyman Lee was sharing the information he encountered in media interviews," he explained.
