As the battle between the People’s Power Representative Lee Jun-seok and Rep. Jeong Jin-seok intensified, the party leadership openly urged the two people to restrain themselves.
However, even following returning to Korea, President Lee made a series of remarks aimed at Rep. Jeong, and the conflict seems to have grown.

Lee Jun-seok, the representative of the People’s Power, who exchanged primary criticism with Rep. Jeong Jin-seok, a senior party leader, once once more poured out his thoughts on social media.
After becoming chairman of the party, he shook himself for the whole year and hit directly with what kind of ‘cheap’ he was discussing.
Even representatives of the party who are close to Chairman Lee made a statement of defense.
[김용태 / 국민의힘 최고위원 : 명분이 부족한 충고는 충고가 아닌 당 지도부 흔들기로 보일 뿐입니다. 명분이 부족하니 무엇인가 다른 의도가 있는 게 아니냐는 의심의 눈초리를 자초하고….]
As the war of words between the two showed signs of escalating into a conflict within the party, the People’s Power leadership requested restraint from both sides.
[권성동 / 국민의힘 원내대표 : (혁신) 논의 자체가 양측의 감정싸움으로 비화하는 것은 적절치 못하다…. 이제는 더 이상 그런 소모적인 논쟁을 하지 않는 것이 좋겠단 것이 제 개인적인 의견입니다.]
Afterwards, Rep. Jeong Jin-seok showed restraint in public criticism of Lee and wanted to enter a state of truce.
[이준석 / 국민의힘 대표 : 분란을 일으키자는 목적이 강했던 것으로 보이기 때문에 저는 그 자체에 대해서 심각한 문제의식 가지고 있습니다. 정치적 공격을 가하는 것은 적어도 여당 소속의 국회부의장이 해서는 안 될 추태에 가깝다….]
As the sparks of conflict grow once more, the People’s Strength Assembly Meeting to be held on the 14th is drawing attention.
This is because if the innovation committee launched by CEO Lee comes up with a sensitive ‘nomination rule’ change, the level of backlash may increase.
In particular, the so-called ‘innovation debate’ is emerging as a catalyst for conflict within the ruling party, as it is intertwined with the struggle for leadership within the party as well as the next party competition over the right to nominate for the 2024 general election.
