The Office of the Speaker stated, "As a constitutional institution, the National Assembly has an obligation to take a clear stance on acts that disturb the constitutional order." The office went on to say, "This decision was made in consideration of the recent court ruling, which confirmed the unconstitutionality and illegality of former President Yoon's actions as the ringleader of the rebellion and his leading role in the occupation of the National Assembly during the 12·3 Martial Law."

The Office of the Speaker also added, "Therefore, Speaker Woo, as the head of the legislative branch and the representative of the National Assembly as the victim institution, determined that displaying the photo of the ringleader of the rebellion within the National Assembly does not align with the spirit of the Constitution."
