, “According to sources in the political circle on the 16th, Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party representative, was admitted to Bundang Seoul National University Hospital in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province on the 9th and discharged on the 14th afternoon after receiving health treatment, including surgery for the removal of a lump. After resting at home until the day before, he returns to work at the party on this day.”,
,
, “His first schedule after returning to work is expected to be attending the party’s selected members meeting for the election of candidates for the Speaker of the 22nd National Assembly to be held in the large conference room of the National Assembly Members’ Building from 10 a.m. today. At the public meeting, Lee and Park Chan-dae, the chief party representative, are expected to deliver speeches, followed by introductions of candidates for Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly.”,
,
, “Following that, a private meeting will be held for candidates to present their views and conduct voting, and once one of the 171 elected members (including proportional representatives) receives more than half of the votes, the final candidate will be elected, and they will deliver an acceptance speech at the public gathering.”,

, “The Democratic Party’s contest for the National Assembly Speaker pits the 6-term Choe Mi-ae (65, Gyeonggi Hanam-gab), who follows the principle of ‘Ming-sim (明心 · Lee Jae-myung’s mind)’, against Woo Won-sik (66, Seoul Nowon-eul), a 5-term member, who follows his own way ‘My Way’.”,
,
, “On the 12th, just two days before the contest, Representative Jeong Seong-ho suddenly withdrew as a candidate, and on the same day, an agreement was made to unify candidates with Representative Choo and Representative Cho Jeong-sik, essentially leading to a ‘clearing of the way,’ shifting the focus toward the ‘Choe Mi-ae becoming the National Assembly Speaker’ theory.”,
,
, “In the Democratic Party, if the nominated candidate becomes the final candidate, a subsequent election for the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly in the first half of the year is expected to take place, possibly resulting in the first-ever ‘female National Assembly Speaker’ in the country’s constitutional history.”,
,
, “Representative Woo seems to be overshadowed by the majority of nominations coming from the pro-Choe faction within the party, but he has expressed his determination to persevere without dropping out and is walking his own path. Furthermore, he claims to have received support from Lee as being ‘qualified’ for the role of the National Assembly Speaker.”,
,
, “Meanwhile, in the Democratic Party, three members, Min Hong-chul (63, Gyeongsangnam-do Kimhae-gab), Nam In-soon (65, Seoul Songpa-byeong), and Lee Hak-young (72, Gyeonggi Gunpo), have registered as candidates for the Deputy Speaker of the 22nd National Assembly (in order of registration).”
