Former South Korean President Park Geun-hye has resumed a more active political role, beginning with a dinner in Ulsan with approximately 15 People Power Party (PPP) lawmakers. During this gathering, she urged legislators to fulfill their duties and maintain national stability, describing the party as “small and struggling.”

Following her campaign support during the June 3 local elections, PPP floor leader Jung Jeom-sik visited Park at her residence in Daegu on August 19. This visit, Jung’s first since his election as floor leader in June, served to express gratitude for her electoral support. The meeting is interpreted as an effort to consolidate the conservative base following a decline in party approval ratings, particularly in the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region. In response to these shifts, the party is pursuing organizational restructuring and renewal plans.

Park is now expected to attend a PPP legislative workshop in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, on August 27. The party announced she will speak to lawmakers for approximately 20 minutes. Observers suggest her participation may focus on conservative unity and a “one team” approach to stabilize internal dynamics and address leadership tensions, potentially positioning her as a unifying figure for the conservative movement.
