Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, and former leader Nak-yeon Lee held a private meeting at a restaurant in Jung-gu, Seoul at 10 am on the 30th.

The meeting between the former and current Democratic Party leaders was in response to former leader Lee’s request for Lee’s resignation and transition of the leadership system to an integrated emergency response committee, setting a deadline of the end of the year. Former Representative Lee has announced that if these demands are not accepted, he will leave the Democratic Party and create a new party. It has been five months since former CEO Lee returned to Korea from the United States last July that the two people held a private meeting.

On the day when a heavy snow warning was issued, CEO Lee arrived in front of the restaurant first and waited for former CEO Lee. When asked by reporters what message he would send regarding integration, Representative Lee said, “I think the most important thing in politics is the level of public opinion. The people are suffering from the oppressive prosecution dictatorship… “He continued talking, but when former CEO Lee’s vehicle arrived, he stopped talking and greeted former CEO Lee.

Afterwards, the two people entered the restaurant and sat across from each other with coffee in front of them without saying anything. Representative Lee changed the topic by saying, “It’s snowing,” but former Representative Lee didn’t react much. Afterwards, the two began a private meeting without anyone present.

According to the Democratic Party, the luncheon between the two was not scheduled for this day. Since there is no possibility that Representative Lee will accept former Representative Lee’s request to resign from the position of representative, there are speculations that this is a meeting between the two sides to build up their cause ahead of former Representative Lee’s withdrawal from the party.
