  "summary": "Independent lawmaker Han Dong-hoon, a former leader of the opposition People Power Party (PPP), has called for the party to overturn his expulsion due to alleged irregularities in the disciplinary process. The call for nullification was made after Hwang Kyung-sung, a member of the PPP's ethics committee, alleged that party leader Jang Dong-hyeok sought to replace committee members to cover up the manipulation. Hwang's claim follows Rep. Jang's recent announcement of his intention to replace committee members. Five of the six ethics committee members, including its chair, have reportedly expressed their intention to resign. Han has requested the disciplinary actions be nullified and urged Jang to issue a public apology during a press conference at the National Assembly. Rep. Jin Jong-oh, whose party membership was suspended for two years, is also mentioned in the report.",
