Lee Jae Myung to host minor party lawmakers at Wednesday luncheon

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung will host a luncheon Wednesday with lawmakers from five minor parties and independent members of the National Assembly to seek cooperation on economic and livelihood legislation, his office announced.

The meeting signals Lee's push to expand legislative support beyond his own party as he seeks to advance priorities including prosecution reform and real estate regulation, according to The Korea Times.

Spokesperson Kang Yu-jung announced the meeting, which will bring together lawmakers from five parties that do not hold formal negotiating bloc status in the National Assembly — including the Rebuilding Korea Party and the New Reform Party — along with independent members, The Korea Times reported.

At the luncheon, Lee is expected to lay out his administration's positions on prosecution reform and real estate policy, and to appeal for support on legislation tied to people's livelihoods and the broader economy, according to The Korea Times.

Wednesday's gathering follows a similar session Lee held with leaders of the same five minor parties in January 2026, the newspaper reported.

The exact time and venue for the April 30 event had not been announced as of the article's publication, with officials saying details would be released at a later date.

The Korea Times reported that no further details on the agenda or attendee list had been released as of Sunday.
