● Pro-Han Wing Faces Successive Disciplinary Crises ~ ● Jang Dong-hyeok: "Unprecedented Absurd Remark"

Seong Chi-hoon / Deputy Spokesperson, Democratic Party of Korea
"Representative Jang Dong-hyeok is having fun with the disciplinary political climate... The Democratic Party must not learn from this."
"The Democratic Party is 'standing by' observing the PPP's disciplinary politics... The PPP targeted Jin Jong-oh from the beginning."

Kim So-hee / Member, People Power Party
"The Ethics Committee must prioritize normalizing internal strife... Disciplinary action is a matter for later."
"Instead of party reform proposals, Jang Dong-hyeok should state his own future stance."

Choi Seon-ho / Editorial Writer, SBS
"Seo Beom-su and Jin Jong-oh's 'roundhouse kick' slip of the tongue likely headed to PPP Ethics Committee."
"Atmosphere changed after Jang Dong-hyeok's statement... Strong disciplinary measures expected."
