The camp of Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, who is undergoing treatment after being attacked, has expressed their refusal to allow visits from former President Moon Jae-in, following their earlier refusal of a visit from Han Dong-hoon, chairman of the People Power Party's Emergency Response Committee.

On the 5th, the Democratic Party announced, "Former President Moon Jae-in informed us of his intention to visit Leader Lee Jae-myung, who will be in Seoul tomorrow (the 6th)." They added, "The party leader's office politely requested understanding, explaining that it is difficult to allow visits as Leader Lee is currently undergoing recovery treatment," and "expressed gratitude for the thoughtful gesture."

Leader Lee was attacked with a bladed weapon on the 2nd while inspecting the site for the new airport in Gadukdo, Busan. He was airlifted by helicopter to Seoul National University Hospital, where he underwent vascular reconstruction surgery and other procedures. On the following day, the 3rd, he was moved from the intensive care unit to a general ward, but visits are expected to remain difficult for the time being. Former President Moon is scheduled to deliver a congratulatory speech at the 100th anniversary commemorative ceremony for the late President Kim Dae-jung, held at KINTEX in Ilsan, Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province on the 6th.

Earlier, Han Dong-hoon, chairman of the Emergency Response Committee, also expressed his intention to visit Leader Lee, but was told it was difficult. Park Jeong-ha, chief spokesperson for the People Power Party, stated in a notice that "We inquired about the possibility of visiting Leader Lee on the previous day (the 4th), but were told that it is still necessary for him to stabilize, so visits are difficult for the time being." He added, "We fully understand the situation and wish for his speedy recovery, and conveyed that we will visit whenever it becomes possible."
