On the 1st, Bae Jun-young, spokesperson for the People Power Party, commented on the consecutive apologies from Lee Nak-yeon, Chairman of the Democratic Party's Central Election Countermeasures Committee, and Kim Tae-nyeon, Acting Party Leader of the Democratic Party, stating, "'Delayed justice' is not justice, just as a 'delayed apology' is not an apology." He pointed out, "Tomorrow is the early voting day, and apologizing today to try to change voters' minds?how much do they really underestimate the citizens of Seoul and Busan?"

He also criticized Kim Tae-nyeon's expression, "Whatever the cause, the Democratic Party was lacking," saying, "Is that just a way of saying they don't want to know the cause?"

Spokesperson Bae said, "There is neither thought nor sincerity in the apology," and added, "I hope they take to heart former Minister Cho Kuk's 2014 remark: 'I am more angry at the level and manner of apologies that change according to public opinion trends and political calculations.'"
