Lee Jun-seok tells the People Power Party's innovation chairman that 'the patient is in Seoul,' directly implicating President Yoon Suk-yeol.

The episode is a panel discussion format featuring host Joo Jin-woo with guests, analyzing the political situation of the People Power Party. It begins by addressing the party's internal strife, centering on innovation committee chairman In Yo-han's activities. A key moment discussed is In Yo-han's trip to Busan to meet former party leader Lee Jun-seok, which ended without a meeting. Lee Jun-seok's reported statement that 'the patient is in Seoul' is analyzed as a direct critique of President Yoon Suk-yeol. The guests, including Cheon A-ram, provide on-the-ground perspective from within the party. The conversation critiques the innovation committee's efforts as producing headlines but lacking substantive reform, especially in challenging President Yoon's influence. The episode details resistance from senior party lawmakers in the Yeongnam region against demands to run in difficult districts or not run at all. Hong Joon-pyo, mayor of Daegu, is discussed for his criticism of 'Yoon Haek-gwan' (pro-Yoon figures) and his apparent alignment with Lee Jun-seok's perspective. The analysis then shifts to the National Assembly, where the People Power Party abandoned a filibuster to fast-track bills, a move interpreted as a tactic to protect Korea Communications Commission chairman Lee Dong-kwan from impeachment. The strategic importance of Lee Dong-kwan to the Yoon administration's media policies is emphasized. The episode explores the broader implications of this parliamentary clash, suggesting a cycle of impeachment proposals and vetoes may continue. The discussion returns to Lee Jun-seok's potential new party, assessing its viability and the political calculus behind it. The guests debate whether real change is possible without fundamental shifts from President Yoon. The episode concludes by reflecting on the media's focus on figures like Lee Dong-kwan over higher judicial appointments, questioning the state of South Korean politics and media.
