[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] On the 13th at 2 PM, Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, will hold a press conference to directly express his position on the party's transition to an emergency response committee system.

Earlier that day, Lee appeared on MBC Radio's 'Politicianssa' 3rd anniversary broadcast and stated, "(In the afternoon) I will say a lot starting from 2 PM."

Since receiving a six-month suspension of party membership from the party's Ethics Committee on the 8th of last month, Lee has been touring the provinces. On the 9th, when the party transitioned to an emergency response committee system and he faced automatic dismissal from the party leader position, he filed an injunction to suspend the effect against the People Power Party and Emergency Response Committee Chairman Joo Ho-young at the Seoul Southern District Court on the 10th, the day after.

At the press conference, Lee is expected to explain the background of the launch of the emergency response committee and the injunction application, as well as discuss his future course of action. Lee said, "Everyone, enjoy watching the broadcast (Politicianssa)" and added, "Above all, there is no need to worry about Lee Jun-seok."
