"Does Lee Jaemyung's Illegal Acts Disappear Just Because Yoon Was Impeached?"
"It's Now Up to the People to Decide"
Park Su-young, a member of the People Power Party, raised his voice saying, "Even with the impeachment of former President Yoon Seok-yeol, Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, is not acceptable."
On the same day, Park posted on his Facebook with the title "Still, Lee Jae-myung is not acceptable," emphasizing, "Now politics must return to the people, and judicial processing must return to the courts."

He added, "Just because the impeachment was accepted does not mean that the illegal acts of Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, disappear," and argued, "On the contrary, responsible and swift trials by the courts have become more important than ever."
He also said, "Just because the impeachment was accepted does not justify the politics of the Democratic Party," and added, "Rather, responsible politics that stabilize the country without paralyzing the government have become more urgent than ever."
"If the Constitutional Court has made a ruling, the next decision is up to the people. The power to rebuild the administration lies not with the Constitutional Court but with the sovereign people," he said, adding, "The real judgment starts now."
Park had previously posted several writings targeting Lee. Regarding Lee’s statement on the 3rd that "the 2·3 loyal military coup plan included a plan to massacre about 5,000 to 10,000 people," Park criticized him as "Lee Jae-myung, who spreads false propaganda and agitation whenever he opens his mouth."
He also raised suspicions that Lee played golf with the late Kim Moon-gi, former head of the Development Division 1 at Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, by posting a group photo taken with Kim during Lee’s time as governor of Gyeonggi Province.
The Democratic Party of Korea has entered a full-scale presidential election system simultaneously with the Constitutional Court’s dismissal of President Yoon Seok-yeol. Lee Jae-myung, the strongest presidential candidate within the Democratic Party, is expected to resign from his leadership position early next week and prepare for the party’s primary election. Once the presidential election date is confirmed at the Cabinet meeting presided over by Acting Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, Lee will step down from his leadership role and begin full-scale preparations for the presidential election. The election date will be decided through the Cabinet meeting. Acting Prime Minister Han is expected to preside over the Cabinet meeting on the 8th and finalize the election schedule.
