Democratic Party member Kim Seung-won said Thursday, September 3, 2026, that he has no intention of canceling indictments against President Lee Jae Myung. He said the Justice minister lacks the authority to do so.

The opposition party weighed disciplinary measures, including a two-year suspension. Jin, who supports independent candidate Han Dong-hoon, pursued the legal challenge.
