same!! I didn't understand at all
Rep Lee said the party members have to unify and work together ("we have to come together as a unified collective") -> hinting that there is internal conflicts in the party and that some party members are sabotaging each other.
Incheol knew it was orchested by Rep Lee and Advisor Cha, just doesn't know the reason why.
Isolating Incheol -> cut him off from all party meetings and activities to keep him in the dark, also making it seems to everyone else that he might be in trouble for "something".
-> Incheol is going to be the saboteur. Rep Lee will likely says that she's keeping him away from the party due to him being corrupted/conflicts against other members/going against the values of the party/ect. Don't know if that meeting in the next chapter is going to go well for him either, it might be an ambush (maybe they're going to spring an internal investigation on him?)
That's my theory and understanding of it.
can someone explain the news part of this chapter? like the mention of the isolation and the implications of the news article? i get everything else, and that this is probably buildup towards the rep and his coworker dropping MC or using him as a public scapegoat, i just dont get the nuances of it as shown through this chapter.
