News summary on the way home from work, Subsletter Evening.



The text messages on the cell phone of lawmakers are often caught by the photographers of the National Assembly.

Photographers took a picture of the text message of 'internal firing' on the cell phone of former People's Power Representative Kwon Seong-dong and Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, looking at the message 'It's war'.

If you look at the picture, it seems that Lee Jun-seok had in mind the conversation, “I should warn you” and “I should be expelled”.

I know very well that photojournalists watch me when I am Rep. Jung Jin, but I keep taking pictures. 


This time, the conversation between Jinseok Jeong and Sangbeom Yoo was exposed.


Another text message from the cell phone of a member of the National Assembly was caught by the National Assembly Photo Correspondent, this time from the People's Power Emergency Response Committee Chairman Jeong Jin-seok.

The photo was taken at the People's Power Assembly Hall.  



Chairman Chung's text message was published as part of a conversation he had with Rep. Yoo Sang-beom, a member of the party's ethics committee, and it appears that he discussed the issue of disciplinary action against former People's Power Representative Lee Jun-seok.

Let's take a closer look at the text.

When Rep. Yoo Sang-beom said, "You don't seem to need it", Chairman Jeong Jin-seok said, "Ok (Okay)" "You should warn me of this act during severe punishment~" In response, Assemblyman Yu responded, "If the sexual assault part is charged, upload it together." I have to expel him.



” With the mention of 'corresponding conduct during severe disciplinary action' and 'expulsion', it seems that the two were texting on the topic of disciplinary action against former People's Power Representative



Lee Jun-seok .

On the 8th, I received a 6-month suspension from the party membership for violating the duty to maintain dignity related to the alleged destruction of evidence of sexual harassment, and additional disciplinary procedures started yesterday for the use of insulting and derogatory expressions



. Accordingly, we must maintain fairness and objectivity, and we must not divulge any secrets we have learned about our duties. It can be a problem even if the non-partisan leader, who serves as the leader of the party, intervenes. I've been trying to explain.


"August 13th text… you can't talk about that much"


Jeong Jin-seok, chairman of the People's Power Emergency Response Committee, explained that it was a conversation he had on the night of August 13, before he became the chairman of the blitz, and that he was caught by photo reporters while texting for lunch today (19th).

What day is August 13th?

As you know, isn't this the day when former CEO Lee Jun-seok slandered the party and its members with unspeakable evil?

There was also talk about the need to burn the two-headed meat, this XX that XX, the party.

Is it normal to just sit still after hearing things like that?

At the time, I was a former councilor and a member of the commoners.

The party leader, who has been severely punished and is on probation, has lashed out at the party members with such abusive comments, how can he not tell the ethics committee that he has not warned him?


On July 8th, former president Jun-seok Lee, who was suspended from party membership for six months, held a press conference on August 13th while walking quietly around the provinces. Chairman Jeong Jin-seok explained that part of the contents were revealed. 



Representative Yoo Sang-beom also posted a similar explanation on social media.

It's the August 13th conversation, and it's a personal opinion that has absolutely nothing to do with the opinion of the entire ethics committee.

However, he admitted that "Nevertheless, it was inappropriate for me to express my personal opinion to other lawmakers as an ethics committee member."


○ The text message reported in the media was a conversation I had with then-Vice Speaker Jeong Jin-seok of the National Assembly after the press conference of former CEO Jun-seok Lee on August 13. 


○ Nevertheless, it was inappropriate for me to express my personal opinion to other members as an ethics committee member.

I am sorry for causing concern to Party members and the people unintentionally.

Lee Jun-seok, are you taking me to the international stage?


Former CEO Lee Jun-seok is fighting against the initiation of additional disciplinary procedures by the Party Ethics Committee rather than Chairman Chung's cell phone text message, and the litigation representatives have issued a statement.



First of all, the representatives criticized the decision to initiate additional disciplinary action yesterday (18th) by defining it as an 'act of obstruction of justice' to influence the case of injunction ▲ and 'act of retaliation for the trial' against successive losses in the case of injunction.

At the same time, he mentioned the '10/26 incident' and even brought out a 'United Nations complaint' card and warned.      



He said, "In 1979, when Democratic Party president Kim Young-sam was expelled from his office in an interview with the New York Times as a problem, it should be remembered that the Buma incident and the October 26 incident occurred." He emphasized freedom of political expression.

The '10/26 Incident' was summoned to support the argument that "metaphorical expressions such as 'dog meat, lamb meat' must be absolutely guaranteed as political freedom of expression."

The representatives also warned that they would take all legal measures, including not only injunctions but also complaints to the United Nations, for additional disciplinary measures, suggesting that they would take the issue to the international stage. 



Inside and outside the party, there is a forecast that the Ethics Committee will decide the level of additional disciplinary action against Lee at a general meeting on the 28th.

If additional disciplinary action is decided, there is a high possibility of receiving a 'recommendation to leave the party' or 'expulsion' according to the party constitution and bylaws that impose a higher level of disciplinary action than before.


Shin Seung-han by 19 votes Joo Ho-young…

Lee Jun-seok Overcome the risk  


Today (19th), five-term lawmaker Joo Ho-young (Daegu Su Seong-gap) was elected as the new floor leader of the People's Power, and it struggled contrary to the initial expectation that it would win a landslide.

When I opened the lid, it was because Lee Yong-ho, a re-elected lawmaker from Jeollabuk-do, created a 'blue' with 42 votes.

It was only 19 votes apart.

Joo Ho-young was established as the leader of the party in the midst of a check from lawmakers in the party against the 'Chin-yun group', and the top priority is the stability of the party.

For the stability of the party, we must overcome the legal battle with former leader Lee Jun-seok.

Joo Ho-young, the new floor leader, is not in a bad relationship with Lee Jun-seok, but it is not a good relationship either.

Last year, after winning the 4/7 re-election, he ran for the party's representative election to succeed 'non-captain Kim Jong-in', who resigned, but he failed.

Joo was also appointed as the non-captain captain last month, but Lee Jun-seok's request for an injunction was accepted by the court, and he had to step down as the non-captain captain in just 17 days.



On the day when former Chairman Lee was elected as the new floor leader, Joo Ho-young's shoulders became heavier as he mentioned the UN's policy of filing a complaint. I only revealed 


◇ Reporter: How do you plan to resolve the relationship with former CEO Lee Jun-seok? 


◆ Ho-Young Joo, floor leader: The party is in such a difficult situation because of the relationship with President Lee Jun-seok.

In my opinion, it would be best if we became one, but the circumstances seem to be too difficult.

So I try to solve the problem by consulting with party members and lawmakers while watching what is being sorted out according to the procedure. 


On the 28th, a hearing will be held on the application for an injunction to suspend the duties of 'Emergency Response Chairman Jeong Jin-seok' filed with the court by the former CEO on the 28th.

As former CEO Lee is expected to file an injunction against this, an endless court battle is foretold between the two sides.

The political power of the people's power has also been put to the test again.
