Earlier that morning, Park Sung-jun, the Democratic Party spokesperson, told reporters, "Lee's remarks that incite division within the party are clear misconduct, and thus the party leadership has decided to issue a stern warning."



However, Lee stated, "I have never committed any misconduct," adding, "Rather, I hope the party leadership and others within the party reflect on behaviors that go against public sentiment and harm the party."
