  "summary": "The Korea Times reports that President Lee Jae Myung intends to host all lawmakers of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) for a luncheon at Cheong Wa Dae in Seoul next Friday. This event is scheduled ahead of the regular parliamentary session set to begin next month, according to senior presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung. The luncheon is linked to the party's workshop schedule, and a ruling party official stated that it is expected that all lawmakers will attend. The party plans to hold a two-day workshop starting Thursday to prepare for the regular session. In August last year, Lee also invited all DPK lawmakers to Cheong Wa Dae for a luncheon during their party workshop, in an apparent bid to strengthen unity between the government and the ruling party.",
