Regarding this, officials from the leadership said they were seriously looking at the situation in a call with YTN, but said they would focus on refining the inside, saying that they are not considering the resignation of the leadership or dissolution of the party.

Meanwhile, the Justice Party current committee plans to hold a meeting soon and discuss the level of disciplinary action against former CEO Kim Jong-cheol.
