News summary on the way home from work, Subsletter Evening.



Former People's Power Representative Lee Jun-seok appeared in court and had an arguing with Ho-young Joo, a lawyer for the non-subrogation committee.

The 'My Way' of former CEO Lee, who chose an all-out war, is continuing.

Former CEO Lee also revealed his discomfort with President Yoon Seok-yeol, and he did not hide his inner feelings with the word 'disrespectful', saying, "Unfortunately, I did not properly take care of what the President said."     


Lee Jun-seok, who appeared in court, "damaging democracy within the party"


Lee Jun-seok, former representative of People's Power, arrived at the Seoul Southern District Court where the hearing was held at 2:40 pm, 20 minutes before the interrogation time of the injunction case, and had a brief Q&A with reporters.

When the reporter asked, 'What kind of points do you plan to explain?', Lee said, "I will tell the presiding judge about the procedural errors and the damage to democracy within the party." I'm not worrying about it," he said.

◇ Reporter: What points will you focus on?


◆ Former Representative Lee Jun-seok: I will tell the presiding judge about the procedural errors and the damage to democracy within the party.


◇ Reporter: How will you respond if the court rejects it?


◆ Former CEO Lee Jun-seok: We are not concerned about the preemptive judgment of rejection or citation.


Former CEO Lee Jun-seok announced last night that he would attend the court hearing in person instead of sending only a lawyer, and while posting his plan to attend the court on SNS, "In principle, you have to stand in front when moving forward, and stand behind when retreating. There is no politics behind the staff." I was high.


I will go directly to the interrogation application tomorrow.

When moving forward, stand in the front, and when retreating, stand in the back. 


There should be no politics behind the staff. 


We are happy to work with some of the most passionate and ambitious lawyers.

fierce battle...

“There is no decision today.” 


“I will tell the judge what part of the party’s democracy has been damaged along with the procedural errors.” As he said, former Chairman Lee argued twice in court to suspend the effect of the non-subrogation of the people in the courtroom. 



The logic put forward by Lee's side is that 1) the top members, including Rep. Bae Hyun-jin, who announced their resignation, voted to hold a standing national committee and violated the procedure, 2) the interpretation of the authority of 'emergency' was unreasonable, and 3) the national committee made a non-face-to-face decision. It is said that the fact that such a policy was enforced undermined the democracy within the party.



After the interrogation, former CEO Lee Jun-seok said, "I spoke well to the judge," adding, "As a responsible party official, I blame myself for creating a situation that shows this to the people, and I hope that the people who started this job will feel the responsibility as well." He also criticized indirectly.



On the other hand, the People's Power side opposed Lee's request for an injunction, saying that it was inappropriate.

Also, regarding the decision process of the highest level held on the 2nd, there was a procedural flaw, saying, "The Supreme Council members Bae Hyun-jin and Yoon Young-seok declared their resignation politically, but did not officially resign due to the power of the people, so they still enjoy the status of the Supreme Council." There was also the logic of no. 



The court's interrogation lasted about an hour, and now only the judge's decision remains.

The court will make a decision based on procedural and content flaws in the process of launching the non-substitute, but the court says that no decision is made today.


Both President Yoon and Lee Jun-seok 'appears uncomfortable in restraint'


Today (17th) is the 100th anniversary of the inauguration of President Yoon Seok-yeol, and President Yoon held his first official press conference in the morning.

Here, “CEO Lee recently pointed out various points directly targeting President Yoon.

A reporter asked a question that said, 'If a family fight continues within the ruling party like this, it seems that it will be a considerable burden on state affairs', but President Yoon avoided an immediate answer and refrained from responding. 



President Yoon said, "As president, I am focused on the stability of the people's livelihood and the safety of the people, so I do not have a chance to properly take into account what other politicians have said."

He added, "I want you to consider that he has never made any comments or expressed my position on the political comments of other politicians," he said, but he did not respond.

It seems to be an answer that avoids the annoying and inconvenient problem.

◇ Reporter: People's Power Lee Jun-seok, former president of the People's Power, has recently pointed out various points directly targeting President Yoon Seok-yeol.

If the quarrel continues within the ruling party, it seems that it will be quite burdensome for the administration of the state.

I wonder how you see


◆ President Yoon: As President, I have been working hard on the stability of the people's livelihood and the safety of the people, so I do not have a chance to properly pay attention to what other politicians have said. Please note that we have never marked 


It seems that former CEO Lee did not see President Yoon's press conference.

As Lee appeared before the court, he said, "I have been thinking a lot about democracy within the party, so I couldn't pay attention to what the president said. It's blasphemous."

But when I see the use of the word 'disrespectful', I feel uncomfortable.

When former CEO Lee went out of court, he used the word 'disrespectful' again. 


“I have been thinking a lot about democracy within the party, so unfortunately, I couldn’t properly pay attention to what


the president said.” I hope you understand" (after court appearance)

"Fight to the end"...

Lee Jun-seok became determined


Former CEO Lee has made it clear that he will continue the legal dispute so that a final conclusion can be reached in the main case regardless of whether the court's application for injunction to be suspended or rejected or not. 



Ex-CEO Lee, who came out after the interrogation, said, "Even if the court rejects the application for an injunction to change the effect of non-subrogation, I see it as a matter that should be contested in the original bill. If you quote (in the court), there is a reason for the citation, so the public will decide accordingly. I think I will,” he said.

In the meantime, it seems to have changed from the position of 'I will not predict the outcome of the injunction' to a firm position.

◇ Reporter: If the court dismisses it, what will be the next response?


◆ Former CEO Lee Jun-seok: Even if it is dismissed, I think it is a situation that should be contested in the original bill.

If you quote, there is a reason, and if you reject it, there will be a reason, so I and the public will be able to judge accordingly. 


In the morning, Ho-Young Joo, chairman of the People's Power Non-submission Committee, responded to a reporter's question about 'what to do if an injunction is cited', saying, "If a certain procedure is incomplete and it does not work, then it is okay to have the procedure again." seems to keep it.

Regarding this, former CEO Lee Jun-seok criticized, "If the court judges to respond in the same direction as Rep. Joo Ho-young said, that is my interpretation of an emergency situation. It is an emergency of democracy."



Former CEO Lee Jun-seok also said, "I've said many times that meeting Ho-Young Joo is meaningless in itself, and if I do, I'll get into a rather difficult situation."
