People Power Party Leadership Visits Park Geun-hye... First Meeting After Park's Special Pardon

Afternoon Visit to Private Residence on the 13th
Initiating Conservative Camp Integration

Kim Ki-hyun, leader of the People Power Party, will pay a visit to former President Park Geun-hye on the afternoon of the 13th. This is the first time the People Power Party leadership has met with former President Park since she was released in a special pardon in 2021.

The People Power Party announced that at 4:30 PM on the same day, Kim Ki-hyun, along with Park Dae-chul, chairman of the Policy Committee, and Koo Ja-geun, chief secretary to the party leader, will meet former President Park at her residence in Dalseong-gun, Daegu. It is also reported that Park’s close aide, lawyer Yoo Young-ha, will be present at the meeting.

Earlier, immediately after assuming party leadership, Kim had planned to visit former President Park in April, but the schedule was postponed once due to a series of controversies involving the party leadership at the time.

Some view this as the beginning of Kim’s active efforts to unify the conservative camp.
