Heo Eun-ah, the chief spokesperson of the People Power Party, said in a statement that "With the recent easing of social distancing measures, the Yeondeunghoe Lantern Festival, registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, was held for the first time in three years. As this year's celebration slogan, 'Back to a daily life where hope blooms again,' suggests, the people are regaining their precious daily lives." However, she expressed concern that "although the path to restoring warm spring daily life is gradually opening, South Korea is witnessing the collapse of parliamentary democracy and constitutional values due to the Democratic Party's forced passage of the 'complete revision of the prosecution law' and the declaration of 'nullification of the original parliamentary organization negotiations.'
Spokesperson Heo emphasized, "The tower of democracy, painstakingly built by the people, is becoming precarious," adding, "In this crisis of real politics, the teachings of Buddha's compassion and tolerance resonate more meaningfully than ever."

She stated, "If we follow Buddha's teachings and cultivate the values of mutual respect, tolerance, and coexistence, we can overcome conflict, confrontation, and distrust, and move toward a world of peace and harmony." She concluded, "The People Power Party will reflect on Buddha's words that only by abandoning stubbornness and listening to others can truth be discussed, and will realize cooperation, communicate more closely with the people, and serve them."
