No Conclusion on Interim Leader Appointment at Emergency Party Meeting on the 7th, “[Edaily Reporter Kim Yuseong] Due to sexual misconduct issues, the Joseon Innovation Party decided to form an emergency response committee but failed to conclude on the appointment of the committee chair. The party plans to reconvene by holding another interim parliamentary meeting on the 8th to continue discussions.”,
“During the provisional parliamentary meeting that lasted about an hour and a half on the 7th at the National Assembly, the Joseon Innovation Party discussed the issue of forming an emergency committee but could not agree on who should lead it. Kim Sun-min, the acting party representative, who resigned to take responsibility for the sexual misconduct incident, did not attend the meeting.”,
“Spokesperson Baek Sun-hee met with reporters immediately after the meeting and stated, ‘We reached the conclusion that forming an emergency committee is necessary as the acting representative Kim and the senior officials resigned.’ She added, ‘The core of the emergency committee is to restore trust and implement reform, and regaining trust from victims, party members, and the public is of utmost importance.'”,
“During the meeting, both internal candidates like the head of the Joseon Innovation Policy Research Institute and the possibility of external recruitment were mentioned as potential emergency committee chairpersons. Some lawmakers expressed opinions such as ‘We need to appoint someone who can console the victims’ minds’ and ‘We should reconsider why former spokesperson Kang Mi-jeong contemplated leaving the party.’ Additionally, suggestions were made to use a method similar to a conclave where members express their preferences in writing for the selection process.”,
“Spokesperson Baek stated, ‘The appointment of the emergency committee chair will be open to all possibilities for discussion,’ and explained that ‘a conclusion will be drawn at tomorrow’s parliamentary meeting and an impending party executive meeting.'”
