The Ethics Committee is said to hold a meeting on the morning of that day at the Yeouido Central Party Headquarters to discuss measures regarding Mr. Jeon's disruption of the joint speech. On the same day, the Party Convention Election Management Committee is also expected to hold a meeting at the headquarters to discuss measures to prevent recurrence.

Earlier, Mr. Jeon encouraged party members to shout 'traitor' during the speech of a candidate in favor of impeachment of former President Yoon Suk-yeol at the People Power Party's joint speech event held in Daegu and Gyeongbuk on the 8th. Some party members protested to Mr. Jeon, asking, 'What qualification do you have to be here?' leading to a physical altercation among party members.

Although Mr. Jeon was not a regular party member or included in the electoral group, he reportedly attended the speech event with a press pass. However, following the disruption caused by Mr. Jeon, the People Power Party decided to ban his access to future Party Convention events.
