[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Jang Je-won, a member of the Future United Party, stated on the 30th, "In the end, the Democratic Party of Korea monopolized all 17 standing committees and paved the way for legislative and budgetary free passes," adding, "Ultimately, from our perspective, we will have to enter the National Assembly with a dignified appearance, but from others' perspective, we will inevitably come in empty-handed."

On the same day, Representative Jang said on Facebook, "Yesterday was the golden time. Returning empty-handed was worse than having seven standing committees and undergoing parliamentary audits and hearings, which would have been a better scenario," and expressed regret, saying, "As someone who advocated for negotiation, I am very disappointed."

He pointed out, "'The supplementary budget increase of 271.8 billion won for tuition refund support passed the National Assembly's Education Committee' is news that would make university students' eyes widen," and criticized, "The Democratic Party will repeat tyranny against us and benevolent politics toward the public."

Representative Jang said, "Endless hardline stances lead to a dead end. Struggle is only a means," and added, "We must swallow our tears and endure today for the day when we can generously hand over a few standing committees to the Democratic Party. We must become sophisticated and tough."
