Yoon Sang Hyun, a lawmaker, held a press conference at the National Assembly before his departure on the 18th and said, "I will clearly convey the public's thoughts and positions on the political situation in Korea.
"We will dispel the international community's concerns over President Yoon's impeachment trial and the Dec. 3 martial law crisis, prevent the collapse of the Korean constitutional order, and build a nation that can function normally," he said.
Yoon will be attending Trump's inauguration as part of a seven-member National Assembly delegation from both the ruling and opposition parties.
He is scheduled to remain in the US until 2021 and meet with key figures in the US government and Congress. Meanwhile, Rep. Na Kyung-won, who is leading the ruling party delegation to the US, also posted on social media before his departure that day,
Following the impeachment of the president for inciting rebellion, a rare situation has arisen in which the acting president (the prime minister) is being impeached. I would like to provide an accurate explanation of the situation."
"An important task for me in this visit to the United States is to convey the party's efforts to alleviate concerns about South Korea and strengthen trust."
