The Ethics Committee of the Central Party for People's Power said, "If any member of the party, regardless of his/her rank, violates the maintenance of dignity as a party member, such as damaging the party's reputation, insulting others, and promoting sectarian conflict, in stating a political position, without exception, more than ever, without exception. We will thoroughly review the related issues,” he said.
The Ethics Committee issued a statement saying, "In accordance with the Party constitution and party rules, the Ethics Committee will exercise its given authority more strictly to strengthen the party's ethical awareness, maintain discipline and promote morality."
It is interpreted that the ethics committee sent a warning about the escalating conflict within the party in the process of transitioning to the emergency response committee system after disciplinary action by the ethics committee against former CEO Jun-seok Lee.
The Ethics Committee said, "The continued political self-restraint within the party must not be left unattended. It is to restore the normal shape of the ruling party, which is constantly introspecting for the sake of it,” he wrote.
Inside and outside the party, there were interpretations that it was aimed at former president Lee, who is continuing an off-site public opinion battle, such as appearing on a TV show, ahead of the decision to suspend the effect of the non-captainer recently.

Before and after the transition to the non-captain, former CEO Lee has been sniping President Yoon Seok-yeol and the group Yoon Hek-kwan (a key person in President Yoon Seok-yeol's side) every day.
Former CEO Lee sent a reply to a SBS reporter who asked for his opinion on the Ethics Committee's statement, "My wording for the Ethics Committee's statement is 'fuhahaha'".
