  "summary": "President Lee Jae Myung intends to host all lawmakers of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) for a luncheon next week, according to his office. The event is scheduled to take place at Cheong Wa Dae in Seoul on next Friday, ahead of the regular parliamentary session set to begin the following month. The luncheon is linked to the party's workshop schedule, and it is expected that all lawmakers will attend, as confirmed by a ruling party official. The party plans to hold a two-day workshop starting Thursday to prepare for the regular session. This move mirrors a similar event last August, where 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.",
