Jijenshinsa, a consultation between the government and the ruling parties on the drafts of government bills scheduled to be submitted to the Diet, has not fully studied in comparative politics, especially, in the presidential system. Focusing on the relationship between the ruling party MPs and the president as the party leader, this study investigates the impact of the president’s power to manage party resources on Jijenshinsa. Using historical data of high - level party - government council in Korea from 1993 to 2017, the analysis uncovers a presidential party resources effect in the opening and agenda of Jijenshinsa. The results sug gest that a greater attention should be directed towards Jijenhsinsa in the presidential regime and president’s role as a party leader in the governing parties’ policy making.
