The United Future Party replaced the backdrop banner to directly criticize the ruling party's real estate policy.

On the morning of the 19th, at the United Future Party Emergency Committee meeting held in the National Assembly main building, a new backdrop with a blue background and the phrase "Even if you do that, house prices don't go down" was displayed. This replaced the white backdrop with the phrase "What is happening in this country now" that had been hung just four days earlier on the 16th. It appears to target the ruling party, which has failed to control house prices despite 22 rounds of real estate measures.

The phrase quotes a statement made by Jin Seong-jun, a Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker, during an appearance on MBC's "100 Minutes Debate" on the 16th. After the debate, he had a conversation with Kim Hyun-ah, a member of the Emergency Committee, where Kim said, "(A drop in house prices) would be too much of a burden on the national economy, so we can't let prices fall sharply," to which Jin replied, "Even if you do that, they don't go down."

However, this remark was quite controversial as it was disconnected from Jin's argument during the debate that the July 10 measures could control house prices. The United Future Party criticized it as a "drunken truth-like debate remark."
