The People's Power will hold a general meeting of lawmakers to deal with the appointment of a "special inspector" proposed by representative Han Dong-hoon to resolve the controversy over first lady Kim Gun-hee.

Amid the intensifying conflict between Han Dong-hoon and Choo Kyung-ho in the party and close-knit and pro-yoon over this issue, whether or not a "vote confrontation" is now emerging as a detonator.

I'll connect you to the National Assembly and find out more. Reporter Lee Junyeop!

Please tell us more about the conflict within the ruling party!

The People's Power Party's floor leadership plans to hold a general meeting of lawmakers as soon as possible to discuss when the parliamentary audit ends on the 1st of next month as the party's conflict intensifies over whether to recommend a special inspector.

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho met with reporters after the parliamentary inspection meeting a little while ago, saying there is no need to predict how to proceed, such as whether to vote or approve it with applause, and that he will follow the will of the lawmakers.

However, when asked about the conflict with CEO Han Dong-hoon over the authority issue, he repeatedly declined to say, "No comment."

Pro-Yoon-gye emphasizes the position of the existing party, which has linked candidates for special inspectors to the recommendation of directors of the North Korean Human Rights Foundation, and fears that the opposition party will reject even if it recommends a special inspector.

In particular, they are expressing their opposition on the grounds that if there is a vote confrontation between factions within the party, it could lead to annihilation if done wrong.

In a phone call with YTN, a lawmaker classified as pro-Yoon stressed that the party leader and floor leader should first resolve it through dialogue, criticizing why they want to show off their strength in the ruling party when there are only 108 members.

On the other hand, representative Han pointed out on social media that the appointment of a special inspector is still a valid presidential election pledge for our party, and if anyone opposes the practice, he should explain a reasonable reason to the people.

Close aides also seem to be demanding a head-to-head confrontation, telling pro-Yoon-gye lawmakers to "come out" instead of hiding.

Rep. Han Chin-gye expressed confidence in YTN, mentioning the party's opinion polls, which the party leader can send on important issues, as a "card of secrecy."

In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea has repeatedly pressed Kim Gun-hee to pass the Special Prosecutor Act, saying that it is impossible to find out the essential facts by introducing a special inspector.

In particular, he pointed out that it is an ineffective argument, saying that President Yoon Suk Yeol could refuse to appoint a special inspector just as he delayed the appointment of a second-term prosecutor of the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit.

A floor official told YTN that the world knows that President Yoon and Representative Han are already over, and the Democratic Party has nothing to open a gap, and is watching the internal conflict of the ruling party flowing from the river to the river.

The parliamentary audit is reaching a situation where the conflict between the ruling and opposition parties is demanding disciplinary action from each other?

[Reporter]
The Power of the Four People has announced its plan to file a complaint with the National Assembly Ethics Committee against Choi Min-hee, the head of the National Defense Agency.

It is said that yesterday's suspension of the right to speak of Choi Soo-jin, a member of the ruling party, for criticizing him and not apologizing in the over-defense constitutes an abuse of authority.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Korea held a rally yesterday to denounce ruling party lawmaker Han Ki-ho's proposal to National Security Office chief Shin Won-sik to "bomb North Korean troops."

He lashed out at him as a "sociopath" who talks casually about what can bring the war to the Korean Peninsula, demanding that Han resign and Shin be dismissed.

In the midst of this, a comprehensive audit will be conducted by seven standing committees, including the Legislative Judicial Committee and the Public Administration and Security Committee.

In the comprehensive audit of the Public Administration and Security Commission, the ruling and opposition parties are expected to battle over the alleged intervention of Kim Gun-hee in the nomination, and the political affairs committee is expected to address the issue of Representative Lee Jae-myung's transfer of helicopters.

So far, I've delivered it to you by the National Assembly.
