[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] On the 10th, independent lawmaker Hong Joon-pyo held a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Office and announced his return to the People Power Party. The return of Hong, a presidential candidate-level lawmaker, to the People Power Party is expected to face difficulties due to opposition from first-term lawmakers aiming to expand the party's moderate base and some voices of opposition within the party leadership. /Reporter Yoon Dong-joo doso7@
