On the 11th, Representative Cheon Ha-ram, who is also acting party leader, met with Woo Sang-ho, the senior presidential secretary for political affairs, and requested that the harms of faction politics be reduced. Woo Sang-ho noted, "President Lee Jae-myung has requested more dialogue with the opposition party than with the ruling party," and promised to actively communicate with the opposition in the future.
That afternoon, Representative Cheon met with Senior Secretary Woo at the office of the Reform Party in the National Assembly and conveyed, "I hope the Lee Jae-myung administration can put an end to the harms of faction politics."
He said, "The president should pursue the national interests of Korea as a whole, moving beyond factions and support bases. A good example of this will be the appointments." He also expressed concern that many individuals who were past lawyers or agents for President Lee Jae-myung are being appointed in the presidential office and even emerging as candidates for constitutional court judges.
He added, "At the beginning of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, I was worried about the appointment of too many junior prosecutors chosen at his convenience across many areas, and that concern has all come true. I hope President Lee Jae-myung will reconsider using someone too close to him, someone who would get cheers from his faction."
Representative Cheon also expressed concern that "there should be no legislation aimed at protecting President Lee Jae-myung or diminishing the power of institutions marked by President Lee Jae-myung."
He remarked, "The Seoul High Court has decided to suspend the trial against the president this time, so wouldn’t it be better to stop the legislation making amendments to the Criminal Procedure Act and the Public Official Election Act aimed solely at this president on this occasion?"
He also suggested that if there is a desire to promote judicial reforms including the increase of supreme court justices and constitutional petitions, a government-wide committee should be formed with all relevant agencies such as the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court, and the Korean Bar Association participating.
Regarding the second supplementary budget for the recovery of the people's economy promoted by the government and ruling party, he said, "There is a need to refrain from populist cash handouts."
Woo remarked, "I was surprised to see candidate Lee Jun-seok create a buzz during the recent presidential election process. There is a desire for young leaders in Korea, and seeing the young generation supporting this candidate made me reflect that the Democratic Party should learn from this," and he wished for the Reform Party to become a more successful party based on its achievements in this presidential election.
He then said, "I will organize the messages you shared today and report them directly to the president, and will discuss with the president what points need attention to provide immediate feedback."
He continued, "(President Lee) asked me to engage more with the opposition than the ruling party," adding, "I hope to communicate whenever needed and have in-depth conversations even sometimes in the evening. Please convey my regards to candidate Lee Jun-seok."
On the same day, Woo also met with Kim Sun-min, acting leader of the Justice Reform Party, and Kim Jae-yeon, permanent representative of The Progressive Party. The previous day, he urged cooperation in managing state affairs while meeting with National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik and Park Chan-dae, acting leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, as well as Kim Yong-tae, head of the People Power Party's Emergency Committee.
