Jang Je-won, absent from the banquet and general assembly line... Is the 'Yun-nuclear tube' split?

<Anchor>

President Yoon Seok-yeol and the so-called 'Yun Hak-kwan' had dinner together last Sunday, and there are various interpretations about what Rep. Jang Je-won did not attend.

There is also an analysis that a struggle for leadership within the party is starting between lawmakers who say they are close to the president after CEO Lee Jun-seok was disciplined.

Correspondent Kang Cheong-wan covered the story.

Kwon Seong-dong, floor leader of the People's Power, dismissed the recent rumors of a rift with another 'Yun Hee-kwan', Rep. Jang Je-won.

[Kwon Seong-dong / People's Power Floor Leader: There seems to be too much speculation and speculation about the relationship between Rep. Jang Je-won and me.

I'm doing well.]

A line was drawn when several comments were made about the absence of all members of Congressman Jang's absence from the dinner of President Yoon Seok-yeol and Rep. Yoon Hak-kwan, and the general assembly of the House of Representatives that ratified the acting system of Kwon Seong-dong last Sunday.

Another theory was added that Rep. Jang remained silent today (13th) without taking any position, and that the explanation of floor leader Kwon rather raised suspicions.

It is that Rep. Jang, who insisted on holding an early national convention, expressed dissatisfaction when floor leader Kwon carried out his intentions through his presidential dinner.

The two people, so-called start-ups, collided last month as well.

When Rep. Jang gathered members of Chin Yun and led the inauguration of the 'Dandelion Meeting', floor leader Kwon took the lead and fired a check and restraint.

It is evaluated that the background of the repeated conflict theory lies in their own political calculations surrounding the position of the next party leader.

If an early National Convention is held, chances will be given to the next party runners who are close to Rep. Jang, such as Kim Ki-hyun and Ahn Cheol-soo, but under the acting system, floor leader Kwon will be able to try again in June after completing his/her term in April next year.

As the next party leader and leadership have the right to nominate in the general election two years later, the battle for leadership is inevitably fierce.
