Lee Jun-seok, leader of the New Reform Party, criticized Representative Jang Dong-hyuk's disciplinary action against People Power Party lawmaker Kim Jae-seop. Representative Lee said on Facebook on the 28th, “Representative Jang Dong-hyuk says he will hit Rep. Kim Jae-seop,” and “The People Power Party has an ethics committee that is brought in every time it needs to get rid of someone it doesn’t like.” He continued, “If what the ethics committee deals with is injustice, then there is so much (injustice) accumulated within the party that you can’t put your finger on it all.” “I am a human being, and in my long interactions with Rep. Kim Jae-seop, I have never once felt that he was unjust.” He said, “In politics, loyalty requires nothing more than an oath to the flag.” On the 26th, Representative Jang hinted at disciplinary action by mentioning the real names of personnel within the party, including Rep. Kim. Regarding the demand for his resignation on YouTube that day, Representative Jang said, “Like a drug seller who comes every market day, they are demanding the resignation of the party leader,” adding, “They are attacking the leader as if the opinions of some members are the entire opinion.
