It has been confirmed that President Yoon Suk Yeol will invite the leadership of the People's Power Party and the standing chairman of the National Assembly from the ruling party to the president's office for a dinner meeting tomorrow.

The purpose is to strengthen the solidarity of the party and the government ahead of the parliamentary audit that begins next week, but representative Han Dong-hoon will not attend.

I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Lim Sungjae!It hasn't been long since President

Yoon had a dinner with the ruling party leadership, but he invited the floor leadership separately?

[Reporter]
It is tomorrow evening, and the leadership of the People's Power, including floor leader Choo Kyung-ho, the standing chairman of the National Assembly, and the secretariat of the ruling party's standing committee are found to attend.

Eight days after President Yoon Suk Yeol had a dinner with the leadership, including representative Han Dong-hoon, he set up a separate meeting with the floor leadership.

A key official of the People's Power Party explained to YTN the nature of the dinner meeting as a normal meal ahead of the parliamentary audit.

Let's hear the remarks of floor spokesman Shin Dong-wook.

[Shin Dong-wook / Senior spokesman for the People's Power Party (SBS Radio's "Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show")] From what you just said in the article, I think that the secretariat of the standing committee chairman is probably encouraging them ahead of the parliamentary audit.]

However, there are already many interpretations about the timing.

In particular, attention is drawn to the background of a separate meeting with Han Dong-hoon at the end of last month when the dinner with Han Dong-hoon ended virtually empty-handed and the president's office did not respond to repeated requests for a private meeting.

No one outside representative will attend this dinner.

A key member of the party, classified as Han Dong-hoon, said in a phone call with YTN that he sees it as a place to share the problems of the opposition party's offensive and discuss countermeasures at a time when the government is set to audit and veto the Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor Act and the Chae Sang-byung Special Prosecutor Act.

When Han's request for a solo meeting was not accepted, he said he would not add much to the separate meeting with the floor leadership.

Another leadership official said that President Yoon's personal relationship with Han is not that important, but he is worried about how the meeting will be seen by the public and how public opinion will react.

The opposition is raising the level of the special prosecutor's offensive, right?

[Reporter]
Five opposition lawmakers, including the Democratic Party of Korea, began a sit-in protest in front of the National Assembly's main office last evening, urging the acceptance of controversial bills such as the Special Prosecutor Act on First Lady Kim and the Special Prosecutor Act on Chae Sang-byung.

They plan to continue the sit-in until the 4th, the deadline for President Yoon's veto, and if President Yoon exercises his veto, they will immediately push for a re-vote.

Opposition lawmakers repeatedly urged the president to accept the bill at a press conference last night, saying it was a clear conflict of interest and unconstitutional to refuse an independent counsel involving himself and his family.

He also shot back at the power of the people, saying he hopes not to participate in the president's unconstitutional actions and become an accomplice to cover up criminal suspicions.

In particular, the opposition party also expects a "deviction vote" within the ruling party if the Special Prosecutor Kim's Act is put to a vote again.

Jeon Hyun-hee, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea's supreme council, said in a radio interview that it would be difficult for lawmakers of the People's Power to ignore the recent public opinion about Kim.Let's listen to



[Jeon Hyun-hee / Supreme Council member of the Democratic Party of Korea (SBS Radio's 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show'): Let's take this time to talk about the Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor Act. The regime could be in danger without somehow sorting this out. As far as I know, there are many (ruling party) lawmakers who are worried like this.

A war of nerves with the ruling party, which defines the Bilateral Special Prosecution Act as an "evil law" and focuses on cracking down on the departure vote, seems inevitable, but tensions between the ruling and opposition parties are rising ahead of the re-vote.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Sungjae in the National Assembly.
