[Asia Economy Reporters Naju-seok and Park Jun-yi] Yoon Ho-jung, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 31st, "South Korea stands at a critical crossroads between regressing into an era of violent public oppression governed by the prosecution or advancing toward a balanced era of popular sovereignty," and appealed, "Please establish at least a minimal balance to prevent the country from becoming a privileged class state like during the military dictatorship era."

On the day before the June 1 local elections, at a Democratic Party Central Election Committee meeting held at the National Assembly, Chairman Yoon said, "It has only been 23 days since the administration began, so structurally it is very difficult for the opposition party. I sincerely apologize to the citizens who have turned away from politics due to the great sense of loss after the presidential election," but added, "If the people turn their heads away from politics, the Yoon Seok-yeol administration will drive the country to ruin through arrogant, uncommunicative, and dogmatic governance."

He promised, "Give the Democratic Party the power to protect sovereignty. The Democratic Party will stand against the Yoon Seok-yeol administration and prosecutorial dictatorship to protect the lives and livelihoods of the people."

Meanwhile, regarding Kim Eun-hye, the People Power Party candidate for Gyeonggi Province governor, who is reported to have underreported assets worth 1.6 billion won to the National Election Commission, Chairman Yoon pointed out, "This is a clear crime that harms the exercise of suffrage," and said, "She has already lost her qualifications as a public office candidate." He demanded, "The People Power Party must immediately remove candidate Kim Eun-hye, who committed a crime, from her candidacy," and added, "As the ruling party, I hope they show an attitude of abiding by the rule of law."
