민주, 오늘 전당대회서 새 지도부 선출...참석 최소화
South Korea's ruling Democratic Party is holding a national convention on Saturday to elect its new leader and top party representatives...but this time, due to COVID-19, the entire event is going online.
The convention will be live-streamed at 1 PM via the party's Youtube channel Ssm , and the actual event will be attended by only a minimal number of party members...under strict quarantine guidelines.
But former prime minister Lee Nak-yon ... one of the three candidates running for the chairmanship... will not be able to attend, as he is currently under self-quarantine for two weeks.
The two other candidates Kim Boo-kyum and Park Ju-min will be there.
The voting results will be released at around 5 PM.
