The People Power Party Central Ethics Committee reduced Representative Kwon Young-jin’s suspension of party membership from 18 months to one year at its 21st meeting on the 30th. The disciplinary action followed a July physical altercation in which Kwon grabbed the collar of People Power Party floor leader Chung Jom-sig while protesting his assignment to a National Assembly standing committee for the latter half of the term. The shorter suspension is expected to leave Kwon eligible to seek the party’s nomination for the next general election in April 2028. Kwon accepted the revised decision, apologized to the public and party members, and said he would focus on his legislative duties during the regular session and parliamentary audit. Separately, Representatives Suh Bum-soo and Jin Jong-oh are pursuing court injunctions against suspensions imposed over the kickback remark controversy. The committee also suspended disciplinary action against Representative Yoon Han-hong and canceled Representative Lim Jong-deuk’s suspension in separate decisions.
