[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Park Hyung-joon, chairman of the Innovation Integration Promotion Committee (혁통위) leading the centrist-conservative integration, will hold a meeting with Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong on the morning of the 21st.

According to political circles on the 20th, Chairman Park will visit Jeju Provincial Office by early morning flight tomorrow to meet with Governor Won. It is known that at this meeting, Chairman Park will propose Governor Won to join the 혁통위.

As the New Conservative Party attempts party-to-party integration with the Liberty Korea Party, shaking the conservative integration structure centered on the 혁통위, attention is focused on whether Governor Won will participate in the conservative integration. Earlier, at the end of August last year, Governor Won expressed a positive stance on integration at the "Great Debate on Overcoming the Crisis of the Republic of Korea" hosted by conservative civic groups, saying, "We should give Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the Liberty Korea Party, the opportunity to lead opposition integration."

As Chairman Park boards the early morning flight to Jeju, the 혁통위 meeting, which had been held daily at 10 a.m. for five consecutive sessions since last week, is scheduled to take place at 2 p.m. on the 21st at the National Assembly Members' Office Building.
