[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Bo-ryeong] On the 16th, Kwon Seong-dong, the floor leader of the People Power Party, was reappointed at the party members' meeting, which former party leader Lee Jun-seok criticized as "ironic."

On the 16th, former leader Lee stated on his Facebook, "It is ironic that the acting party leader, who declared an emergency situation for the party after exposing internal disparaging messages and receiving cherry thumbs-up, was reappointed at the party members' meeting."

He continued, "Where exactly was the emergency, what was the problem, and who took responsibility?" and added, "Did they dismiss the party leader and end the situation because the president and the floor leader created the emergency situation?"

Initially, some within the party called for Floor Leader Kwon to take responsibility for the emergency situation and resign, but at the People Power Party members' meeting that day, Kwon Seong-dong was reappointed.
