On this day, Kim said through Facebook, "Judging the world with a biased perspective, believing oneself to always be right and always just, is the greatest enemy that liberal democracy must guard against."

Kim criticized former leader Lee, saying, "When viewing the world through a biased cognitive system, one perceives oneself as the smartest, believes one is never wrong, and sees anyone with different thoughts as completely wrong."

On the same day, former leader Lee held a press conference at Kim Kwang-seok Street in Daegu and fiercely criticized the People Power Party's amendment of party rules, saying, "Ignoring court rulings and hastily retroactively amending party rules to cover up their own shameful acts is unconstitutional."

He pointed out, "Tomorrow (the 5th), they say there will be a vote on this at the National Committee," adding, "Even as more than half of the public points out that this is wrong, passing this at the National Committee means they cannot block their disregard for the constitution at the party level and will once again provoke judicial intervention."

He continued, "It is freedom to dislike the party leader for internal criticism and to gossip after ousting him," but "going beyond that freedom to arbitrarily amend party rules and shake up party affairs is an overreach that infringes on others' freedom." He added, "It is shameful and deplorable. How can a group that treats the constitution and party rules like a discarded rag criticize anyone in the future?"
