Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and the leader of the conservative People Power Party (PPP), Han Dong-hoon, held an emergency meeting on Saturday to discuss the ongoing political crisis and measures to stabilize the government following President Yoon Suk Yeol's botched martial law declaration earlier in the week.

After watching President Yoon’s public address, the PPP chief visited the prime minister’s residence in Jongno District, central Seoul, where the two spent about 1 hour and 20 minutes discussing the public unrest and strategies for managing the national crisis.

During the meeting, PPP leader Han urged the prime minister to handle the economic challenges and national affairs "with care and stability" to assure the public, he told reporters after the meeting.

Prime Minister Han responded by assuring his commitment to "work closely with the party" to address these concerns.
