On the 26th, Mayor Hong wrote on Facebook, "When the June National Assembly opens, an overwhelming majority of opposition lawmakers and hardline opposition groups will focus their attacks on the Yoon administration."

Amid the opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea, announcing a re-vote on the Special Prosecutor Act for Sergeant Chae at the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 28th, four members of the People Power Party (Ahn Cheol-soo, Yoo Ui-dong, Kim Woong, Choi Jae-hyung) publicly expressed support for the Special Prosecutor Act, which seems to have prompted his response.

He criticized, "As the ruling party, if the People Power Party becomes one with President Yoon but fails to protect him and acts in a disorderly and fragmented manner, President Yoon will have no choice. In that case, the People Power Party will fail to even be the ruling party and will fall into a minority party, potentially becoming a miscellaneous party."

He continued, "Politics is a game of imagination," and added, "A party led by people who only look at immediate benefits and pursue personal interests will inevitably walk the path of extinction."

Mayor Hong emphasized, "It is unacceptable that the party I have been part of for over 30 years is thrown into chaos by a few unidentified outsiders," and stressed, "The only way to survive is to cultivate self-sustaining power."
