The People Power Party stated that on Chuseok day, the 1st, lawmakers Park Soo-young and Kim Jung-jae held placards reading "Where is President Moon Jae-in?" and "Nothing is more precious than the lives of the people" while continuing their one-person protests in their constituencies.

The People Power Party began one-person protests on the 27th of last month, centered around Floor Leader Joo Ho-young and other floor leadership and lawmakers, and has continued the protests through the Chuseok holiday starting on the 30th of last month and up to this day.

Floor Leader Joo said on Facebook, "Watching the scene where North Korea brutally killed our citizens, a person who cannot utter a single warning to North Korea cannot be the President of the Republic of Korea," adding, "If President Moon Jae-in is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he must apologize to the people."
