Floor leader Joo said, "We have never left the National Assembly. We only fought against the destruction of parliamentary democracy perpetrated by the Blue House and the ruling party," and criticized the Democratic Party of Korea, saying, "The ruling forces are determined to push through all the malicious laws they have planned at once in this July National Assembly."

He added, "The National Assembly is the only stronghold of democracy. That is the sole reason we are participating in the July National Assembly," and emphasized, "The United Future Party will do its best to resolve pressing livelihood issues that weigh heavily on the lives of the people, such as the economic crisis, security breakdown, soaring real estate prices, the Incheon International Airport incident, and the sharp rise in electricity bills caused by nuclear phase-out during the July National Assembly."

He also announced plans to reinitiate various parliamentary investigations. He said, "We will reveal through parliamentary investigations the lies that Kim Jong-un promised complete denuclearization within a year, which President Moon Jae-in conveyed to President Trump, and the petty behavior of Democratic Party lawmaker Yoon Mi-hyang," and added, "We will also thoroughly investigate in the National Assembly the re-investigation chaos surrounding former Prime Minister Han Myeong-sook that shakes the foundation of the rule of law, the Ulsan mayor case, and the attempt to oust Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl."

In the following Q&A session, floor leader Joo said, "We will submit the list of standing committee reassignments to the Speaker around tomorrow." Regarding the feasibility of the parliamentary investigations, he responded, "The Democratic Party cannot refuse parliamentary investigations on every issue one by one," and said, "We will fiercely explain to the public why parliamentary investigations must be conducted and continue to brand the Democratic Party as trying to cover up corruption and illegality with numbers."
