Ahn Cheolsoo, the People Power Party's presidential primary candidate, directly criticized the so-called "anti-impeachment" candidates?Kim Moonsoo, Na Kyungwon, and Hong Joonpyo?saying, "If you cannot sever ties with Pastor Jun Kwanghoon, then join the Jun Kwanghoon Party and compete in the primary there." He also demanded that former President Yoon Sukyeol make a clear decision on whether he would break away from far-right figures such as Pastor Jun, or sink together with them.

On April 20, Ahn wrote on Facebook, "Pastor Jun Kwanghoon has declared his candidacy for president," adding, "For someone who denies constitutional order and glorifies insurrection to run for president of the Republic of Korea is a serious challenge to liberal democracy and an insult that shakes the very foundations of conservative values."

He continued, "Na Kyungwon, Kim Moonsoo, and Hong Joonpyo, who walked the far-right path alongside Pastor Jun during the impeachment crisis, must now clearly state their positions: 'Do you support Pastor Jun Kwanghoon's candidacy?' and 'Are you still aligned with his ideology?'" He emphasized, "Silence is consent, and ambiguity is condoning." He further stated, "If you still follow Pastor Jun Kwanghoon's views and cannot break ties with him, then joining the Jun Kwanghoon Party and running in the primary there would be the honest path, both for yourselves and for the people."

Ahn also addressed former President Yoon Sukyeol, urging him to "stop and persuade these people," and stressed, "For the sake of the Republic of Korea and conservatism, you must not remain silent any longer."

He asserted, "The conservative camp must now decide whether to break with the far-right or sink together with them. Forces that defend insurrection and deny impeachment can never defeat Lee Jaemyung. The Jun Kwanghoon faction only undermines conservative values from within."

On April 19, Pastor Jun Kwanghoon attended the "4·19 Gwanghwamun Revolution National Rally," organized by the Korea Restoration Movement Headquarters, which he leads, in the Gwanghwamun area of Jongno-gu, Seoul. There, he declared his intention to run for president, stating, "I will run as a presidential candidate."

Pastor Jun said, "There is no one but me who can carry out all these tasks: dissolving the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials and the National Election Commission, purging the Constitutional Court justices, and dismantling the National Assembly in Yeouido. That is why I am running for president."

He added, "I will show you what I can do. I would rather help Lee Jaemyung, the Democratic Party's presidential primary candidate, win than allow any of the eight People Power Party candidates to be elected. We will show our presence."

Regarding former President Yoon, he boldly declared, "I will bring him over to the Liberty Unification Party."
