People Power Party Emergency Response Committee Chairman Dong-Hoon Han. yunhap news
On the 21st, People Power Party Emergency Response Committee Chairman Han Dong-hoon, when the Yongsan Presidential Office’s request for his resignation was raised, immediately said, “I will report to the people and do my job.”
The People Power Party announced the response of an emergency committee chairman through official channels. Party officials drew a line, saying that they were not confirming the truth regarding the ‘demand for resignation’, but were taking a stance on the report.
Prior to this, Channel A reported that mainstream figures from the President’s Office and the ruling party held a private meeting with Chairman Han this morning. The media reported that at this meeting, the intention of the President’s Office and the mainstream ruling party was conveyed that Chairman Han should step down from his position as emergency committee chairman.
Immediately following the report came out, Chairman Han announced his position through a text message to the media, saying, “I will do what I have to do.” It can be interpreted that he actually rejected the request for resignation.
As soon as the rumor emerged that the Yongsan Presidential Office had called for the resignation of the ruling party’s emergency committee chairman, a rebuttal emerged, with reactions within the party saying, “A conflict between President Yoon Seok-yeol and emergency committee chairman Han has been confirmed.” There is a possibility that this might escalate into an unprecedented conflict within the ruling party.
The background of this conflict is due to the difference of views on the solution to the suspicion of first lady Kim Kun-hee’s ‘receipt of luxury bags’. Some members of the party, including emergency committee member Kim Kyung-yul, who was appointed by Chairman Han, have argued that the President’s Office should announce its position or issue an apology.
Chairman Han also initially supported Ms. Kim’s position, saying it was a “hidden camera operation,” but recently, he expressed his forward-looking stance that “there were concerns from the public’s perspective” and “it is a matter to be considered from the public’s perspective,” leading to speculation that the Yongsan side is uncomfortable. This came out.
