[앵커]
The People’s Power Emergency Response Committee Chairman Jeong Jin-seok started full-fledged activities as the person in charge of rectifying the party’s lingering internal redness.
This is the fourth position since former CEO Jun-seok Lee was disciplined in July, and the task ahead is daunting.
This is reporter Kang Jin-won’s report.

[이양희 / 국민의힘 윤리위원장 (7월 8일) : 당원권 정지 6개월을 의결했습니다.]
[권성동 / 당시 국민의힘 당 대표 직무대행 (7월 8일) : 원내대표가 직무대행 하는 것으로….]
[주호영 / 당시 국민의힘 비상대책위원장 (8월 9일) : 단합된 모습을 국민에게 보여드립시다.]

An unprecedented disciplinary action once morest the leader of the ruling party and a legal battle ensued.
The first act of the non-captain Jeong Jin-seok, which was launched following many twists and turns, was the swift ‘normalization of the party’.
But the road doesn’t seem to be smooth.
Right now, the additional injunction application filed by former CEO Lee Jun-seok is a stumbling block.
If the court’s judgment, which will be released at the earliest by the end of this month, leans toward former CEO Lee, the non-captain Jeong Jin-seok will inevitably be stranded.
[이준석/ 국민의힘 전 대표 (지난 14일) : 지난 가처분에서 법원에서 일정 판단 내린 부분에 대해서 불복하는 것에 대해서 다루는 것이기 때문에 순탄하게 진행될 것으로 믿고 있습니다.]
Confusion is inevitable as to whether the newly elected floor leader will act on behalf of the party leader, or whether the existing floor leader Kwon Seong-dong will come to the fore once more.
Even if the court upholds the people’s hand this time, there are many hurdles to overcome.
First of all, overcoming the so-called ‘pro-yun frame’ has emerged as a variable in closing conflicts within the party as Chairman Jin-seok Jeong, who is considered to be the chairman of the ‘pro-yun-gye’, took the baton.
Chairman Chung is of the view that it is meaningless to divide factions as they all worked for regime change.
[정진석 / 국민의힘 비상대책위원장 (지난 14일 / YTN 뉴스Q) : 이상한 친윤, 반윤으로 또 갈라치게 하는 것 자체가 저는 정치적으로 퇴행이라고 생각하고요.]
The voices of dissatisfaction may erupt mainly from former Representative Lee Jun-seok, former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, and close people.
Even with the timing of the next national convention, traffic control is necessary.
This is because the calculation between party power runners is complicated, whether to elect a new representative following the regular National Assembly in December or to hold a national convention earlier than this.
In particular, since the 2024 general election nomination rights are at stake, a tight fight is expected over the specific ‘rules’.
As Chairman Jin-seok Jeong, who has to take center stage in this process, there is no choice but to put a lot of pressure on it.
In addition, the opposition party’s opposition to the all-round investigation of Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung is growing stronger.
He had to take on the homework of thawing the frozen politics and taking care of the people’s livelihood, but the leadership of the fifth-term middle-ranking leader Jeong Jin-seok has been put to the real test.
