On the 20th, Kim Min-su, spokesperson for the People Power Party, criticized in a written statement, "The image of Rep. Kim trampling on fairness and justice in the virtual asset market and the Democratic Party's behavior of defending him and fueling public anger resemble the Cho Kuk incident."

Spokesperson Kim targeted Rep. Yang Yi-won-young of the Democratic Party, who said, "Investing in coins itself cannot be deemed immoral," pointing out that she "dismissed Rep. Kim as just one of the 6 million innocent investors."

Regarding Rep. Yang's remark, "We should be careful not to act too pure," he said, "This implies that the Democratic Party is responding sensitively to the coin scandal because their moral standards are excessively high," and sarcastically added, "The hundreds of billions won coin gate, named the Namguk Incident, seems to be nothing significant even from a moral perspective."

Spokesperson Kim also criticized former National Intelligence Service Director Park Ji-won for saying, "Rep. Kim has no reason to comply with the data request. The typhoon is strong but not long-lasting," stating that he "belittled the public's anger as nothing more than a passing breeze."

Kim said, "Seeing the numerous criminal allegations surrounding the Democratic Party, the Namguk Incident, and the Democratic Party's response, the public will likely share the same thought that 'the Democratic Party should be disbanded.'"

He continued, "During the Cho Kuk incident, the Democratic Party enraged the public by shouting 'Protect Cho Kuk,' and now they are shouting 'Protect Namguk.' Before receiving a disbandment verdict from the public, they should reflect on themselves."
