People Power Party leader Jang Donghyeok has decided to remain hospitalized over the weekend and continue treatment on the recommendation of his medical team. Accordingly, the People Power Party has not yet finalized Leader Jang's official schedule for next week.
At the National Assembly on the 20th, Party Chief Spokesperson Park Seonghoon explained Leader Jang's health condition and said that it has also not been decided whether he will attend next Monday's Supreme Council meeting. Leader Jang was admitted to a general hospital in Seoul on the 18th due to aftereffects from his hunger strike and overwork, and he plans to decide when to return based on the test results.
Leader Jang's hospitalization may also temporarily slow the recent calls within the party for him to step down. The party leadership believes that, since opinions among lawmakers are divided, hasty discussions about his resignation could further deepen internal conflict.
