  • The People Power Party's ethics committee will convene on June 6 to review disciplinary cases filed by party members before and after the June 3 local elections.
  • Disciplinary action is possible against pro-Han Dong-hoon lawmakers who accompanied the independent lawmaker on his election campaign.
  • Concerns are rising that this could intensify internal party conflict, with pro-Han lawmakers reportedly being the top disciplinary targets.

The People Power Party is set to hold a full ethics committee meeting on June 6. The committee will review disciplinary actions requested by party members concerning events before and after the June 3 local elections.

Speculation is mounting that disciplinary measures may be taken against lawmakers who are considered close to Han Dong-hoon, an independent lawmaker. These lawmakers reportedly accompanied Han on his election campaign trail. Such actions could potentially deepen existing internal party divisions.

Sources indicate that the pro-Han Dong-hoon faction within the party is the primary focus for disciplinary review by the People Power Party's ethics committee. This situation stems from events that occurred in March, involving Han's activities in Daegu.
