Representative Han Dong-hoon's responsibility is strongly rising in the people's power to impeach the president for the first time in eight years.

Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, volunteered to hold a press conference and proposed to set up a "national stability consultative body" with the National Assembly and the government.

There are angry reactions from within the people's power over representative Han Dong-hoon's future?

[Reporter]
In particular, Han Dong-hoon's representative position does not seem to be very wide, as not only the pro-Yoon leader but also the so-called close-knit members, such as Jang Dong-hyuk and Jin Jong-oh, the so-called members of the youth supreme council, expressed their resignation yesterday.Representative

Han has been silent since announcing his intention to remain as representative yesterday, and there have been a series of public calls for his resignation within the party.

Rep. Na Kyung-won wrote on social media that it was the beginning of unhappiness when representative Han appeared as the party's emergency committee chairman ahead of the general election, and lawmaker Kwon Young-jin said that the traitor who took the lead in impeachment was not qualified as representative.

In particular, lawmakers who spoke to our reporters agreed yesterday that representative Han Dong-hoon's remarks at a closed general meeting of lawmakers were inappropriate.

After a series of voices complaining to Han, who had argued in favor of the impeachment party, Han replied, "Did I vote or did I do emergency martial law?"

Supreme Council member Jang Dong-hyuk reportedly expressed his intention to resign immediately after Han's remarks.

A senior member of the ruling party said in a phone call with YTN that Han seems to be much more stubborn than President Yoon, criticizing such self-righteousness as a problem even if he becomes a leader in the future.

Rep. Lee Sang-hwi argued that he could not be with a selfish person who turned a blind eye to the comrade and the party by disguising himself with his beliefs and convictions.

Of course, some close people are protecting Han, saying, "Don't catch a pod."

Representative Cho Kyung-tae said in a phone call with YTN that martial law and impeachment were Han's fault, and pointed out that if the pro-Yoon-gye lawmakers are the ones who took the lead in impeaching former President Park Geun Hye.

One representative insisted that the representative authority will be maintained unless he/she expresses his/her intention to resign.

Kwon Sung-dong, the party's two-top floor leader, convened a closed-door meeting at 2 p.m. with only the floor leadership.The representative of

was found to be in the position that the leadership should be given a few days to think about, as the leadership was virtually broken due to the resignation of the Supreme Council members.

For a while, the party's internal strife seems inevitable.

Chairman Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party volunteered for a press conference today, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, I called reporters to the National Assembly a little while ago and suggested my own plan to stabilize the state affairs in the situation of suspension of presidential authority.

It is urgent to normalize the country, and proposed the formation of a "national stability consultative body" as a bipartisan cooperation between the National Assembly and the government.

He also said he spoke to Acting President Han Deok-soo yesterday and asked for neutral state administration, and that he decided not to take steps to impeach the acting president as long as he was discussing it within the Democratic Party.

Now, the priority is to restore the trust of the economy and the international community, which has become unstable due to the martial law crisis, he said.

Representative Lee emphasized, however, that President Yoon should be held accountable for declaring an emergency martial law.

He asked the Constitutional Court to expedite the process of dismissing the president and argued that a strict investigation by the investigative agency and the early operation of the special prosecutor were needed.As the authority of President

yoon is suspended and the internal strife of the people intensifies, the political leadership seems to be bound to focus on the Democratic Party and Representative Lee for the time being.

The Democratic Party of Korea is expected to focus on proving the reason for President Yoon's impeachment through the so-called "insurrection independent counsel" and parliamentary investigation, and Lee is expected to focus on stabilizing the political situation and moving people's livelihoods.
