Lee Jun-seok, a member of the Reform New Party, announced on the 27th that all members of the Reform New Party would cast 'yes' votes on the impeachment motion against Han Deok-su, Acting President and Prime Minister.
Through social media (SNS) on the same day, Lee stated, "There is controversy over the quorum required for Han's impeachment, and the Constitutional Court will make a separate judgment on that. However, regardless of that, if the impeachment vote proceeds today, the members of the Reform New Party have decided to vote in favor."

He added, "In a national crisis, it is important that President Yoon Seok-yeol's swift resignation is carried out through the constitutionally prescribed method. Naturally, the appointment of constitutional court justices, which should be made, is being delayed, causing delays in the impeachment trial process, and this cannot be overlooked," and said, "Han and the cabinet members must seriously acknowledge the gravity of the current situation."
