The Democratic Party's Emergency Response Committee received a report on the decision to suspend Party membership for six months against Rep. Choi Kang-wook.

Vice Chairman Woo Sang-ho emphasized that the decision of the Party Ethics Tribunal should be respected and demanded refraining from internal disputes over disciplinary action.

[Woo Sang-ho / Democratic Party Emergency Response Chairperson: I urge you to refrain from the fact that the members of the party are divided into pros and cons on this issue and start a rebellion again, as there is a possibility that it may not be seen as desirable in the eyes of the public.

] As he announced that he would apply for a retrial to protect human rights and honor, there was a burst of rupture within the party.

Former Vice Chairman Park Ji-hyeon, who has demanded severe disciplinary action against Rep. Choi, said she was infinitely ashamed of Rep. Choi, who still did not admit his mistake and dragged the party into a deep pit.

He also emphasized the dismantlement of the Democrats' hardline group, the 'Like Party,' again, saying that the Democratic Party is becoming a prisoner of a maddened fandom.

As is known for recommending the retrial, members of the Association actively surrounded Rep. Choi.

Rep. Kim Yong-min criticized that the Democratic Party had created an era of barbarism inside, from which there was no way out if pointed out as a gangster, and Rep. Jang Kyung-tae requested that the facts be reviewed again, saying that the evidence was insufficient and excessive severe punishment.

When Rep. Choi's request for reconsideration is received, the Democratic Ethics Tribunal holds a meeting again and makes a decision within 60 days.
