More than half of the party’s incumbent lawmakers attended the event led by Rep. Jang Je-won, a member of the People’s Strength, who is considered to be the closest aide to President Yoon Seok-yeol.

It can be seen as a semolina, but Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo attended and showed solidarity with Chin Yun-gye.

Representative Lee Jun-seok, whose position is shrinking, did not attend President Yoon’s farewell tour.

The core of ‘Youn Hack-Kwan’, the People’s Power The ‘Future Innovation Forum’ hosted by Rep. Jang Je-Won.

There were close to 60 lawmakers in attendance, reminiscent of a general meeting of the House of Representatives.

It looks like the pro-Yun Seok-yeol-gye went on a full scale, and Kim Jong-in, who was invited as a speaker, did not avoid being bitter about it.

“Many lawmakers (belonging to the People’s Power) think that they are not a group that only looks at the president. So, they cannot make great political progress.”

In response, Rep. Jang said it was just a research meeting, dismissed the rise of power, and denied rumors of a conflict with CEO Lee Jun-seok.

“What kind of conflict do you have with CEO Lee Jun-seok? With me?”

(It seems like we keep talking to each other.)

“They?

However, Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo, who sat side by side with Yoon Hak officials and showed solidarity, ridiculed Lee, who was in crisis of disciplinary action.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I’m sorry.”

On the other hand, CEO Lee Jun-seok repeatedly raised the suspicion of ‘Rep. Jang Je-won’s background’.

“I know exactly what Rep. Jang Je-won is thinking and what kind of activities he is doing.. Whether or not Supreme Councilor Bae Hyun-jin and I shake hands with these things, speak like a person who suddenly appeared to scold them from a third-party point of view. ”

Representative Lee did not appear for President Yun Seok-yeol’s first round trip farewell.

Instead, only floor leader Kwon Seong-dong, Yoon Hek-kwan, attended.

While there are interpretations that Chairman Lee is far from not only pro-Yun-gye within the party, but also from President Yoon, Chairman Lee explained that it was only “the president did not go because he was far from arrogance and pomp.”
