It was confirmed that Kwon Seong-dong, the floor leader of the People’s Power, attended the drinking party right following the banquet of the People’s Power National Assembly, which banned alcohol in consideration of flood damage during the Eulji training period. Controversy is growing because President Yoon Seok-yeol personally issued a ‘prohibition order’ at a dinner party. The ruling party acknowledged that Kwon had a drinking party with reporters and sang at the meeting.
At a briefing on the morning of the 26th, Park Hyung-soo, spokesperson for the People’s Power, admitted attending the drinking party, saying, “Reporters from long-distance coverage stayed late in the evening, and a number of reporters requested the presence of floor leader Joo Ho-young and floor leader Kwon.”
From the 25th, the banquet was held for two days and one night, and the press reported emphasizing the fact that it was a ‘prohibited feast’. It was also reported in the media that President Yoon Seok-yeol used omija juice instead of alcohol at the dinner that day. President Yoon said, “I can’t drink because of Eulji training, but let’s unwind with the same joy as drinking alcohol.”
Park’s spokesperson said, “Reporters recommended Kwon to sing a song as an encouragement.” After explaining, “I might not refuse the invitation in a friendly atmosphere, so I responded to the request.” claimed.
On this day, Kim Dong-ha, deputy spokesperson for the People’s Power Seoul Party, uploaded a video on his Facebook page where floor leader Kwon put a spoon into a bottle and sang a song at a drinking party at a restaurant near the banquet place. This party has no future. President Yoon, please give me another cherry picker.”
One media uploaded a related video and made it an article, but it was decided to keep the video private as reporters belonging to the company’s media who appeared in the controversial place protested.
