The Democratic Party has begun preparations for the "Lee Jae-myung era."

They have established a 'Governing Plan Headquarters' within the party, which is intended to plan for the next governing phase and propose key tasks.

The head of the headquarters will be Kim Min-seok, who is expected to focus on supporting the so-called 'Meoksanism Basic Society' advocated by Representative Lee Jae-myung.

Meanwhile, during a dinner meeting yesterday (10.6) with about twenty pro-Han lawmakers, People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon shared a sense of crisis within the party.

[Park Jeong-hoon/People Power Party/CBS Radio 'Kim Hyeon-jeong's News Show': "There was a very active sharing of the sense of crisis. Everyone seems to be aware that if we continue like this, the party will truly face destruction."]

Today (10.7), Han held a lunch meeting with over 80 local party committee chairs, leading to interpretations that he may be attempting to establish a separate faction.

Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo remarked, "It's a strange meeting at a strange time, as if they are trying to threaten the president with a few people," while pro-Yoon lawmaker Kweon Seong-dong expressed concerns that it could lead to division within the party.
