At a press conference held at the National Assembly on the 100th day of his inauguration, Floor Leader Park said, "The money envelope allegation was the beginning of the Democratic Party's reform," "While specific responses will be discussed at the party's Supreme Council, one thing is certain: the Democratic Party will not repeat mistakes that alienate the public through double standards and leniency."

Regarding the controversy over Democratic Party Innovation Committee Chair Kim Eun-kyung's derogatory remarks about the elderly, Floor Leader Park stated, "The Innovation Committee's activities should not become hollowed out or useless due to such controversies," adding, "(Issues under review by the Innovation Committee) such as the delegate system and candidate nomination have various opinions within the party and will undergo thorough discussion."

Floor Leader Park also proposed the activation of a permanent consultative body among the ruling and opposition parties and the government to overcome the emergency economic situation. He said, "The consultative body should discuss and find solutions together for the supplementary budget preparation, next year's budget, the debt problems of self-employed individuals, and urgent measures to overcome the recession-type trade surplus."
