The People Power Party will hold a retreat in Ilsan, Goyang, from August 27 to 28, with all party members expected to attend.
According to Yonhap News on August 24, former President Park Geun-hye is anticipated to attend the retreat on the first day, August 27. This follows an invitation extended by the party's floor leader, Jeong Jeom-sik, during a recent visit to Park's residence in Daegu. It is unusual for a former president to participate in such an event.
Park previously campaigned for People Power Party candidates during the June 3 local elections, visiting regions including Gangwon, Chungcheong, and Yeongnam at their request.
A key party official told Yonhap, "Since Park has served as our party leader and emergency response committee chair, and was elected president under our party's nomination, we hope she can share her thoughts on the direction our party should take with the members during the retreat."
The first day of the retreat will include discussions on party innovation strategies, major policies for the upcoming regular National Assembly session, comprehensive discussions on key issues, subcommittee discussions, and regional meetings.
Additionally, external experts are scheduled to give lectures on artificial intelligence (AI), diplomacy and security, and conflict resolution. Lee Seung-hyun, CEO of Alpaca Labs and author of 'AI National Wealth Theory,' will speak on AI, while Park Won-gon, a professor at Ewha Womans University specializing in North Korean studies, will address diplomacy and security. Kim Kyung-il, a psychology professor at Ajou University, will cover conflict resolution.
On the second day, a discussion titled '2030 Youth Talk' will focus on real estate, stocks, and employment, which are major concerns for young people. Following this, all party members will engage in free discussions and adopt a resolution to be announced.
