On the afternoon of the 24th, three-term members of the People Power Party gathered at Representative Jeong Jeom-sik's office in the National Assembly Members' Office Building to discuss how to respond to Floor Leader Choo's expression of intention to resign, taking responsibility for the negotiation process of the parliamentary organization. After the meeting, Representative Kim Seok-ki told reporters, "Everyone unanimously agreed that we cannot accept the resignation intention," adding, "The Democratic Party is acting with outrageous tyranny. In this situation where there is no negotiation at all, the outcome would be the same regardless of who serves as floor leader."

He continued, "Floor Leader Choo expressed his intention to resign with an attitude of taking responsibility, but at this harsh time, it would be the same no matter who is the floor leader," emphasizing, "We have concluded to tell Floor Leader Choo that we hope he continues to perform his duties as floor leader."

Representative Kim added, "It was shocking to everyone that Floor Leader Choo, who was performing his duties well in such a difficult situation for our party, suddenly announced his resignation," and said, "The three-term members cannot accept the resignation intention and will urge him to continue working hard."

On the same day, the People Power Party decided at a party members' meeting in the morning to accept the seven standing committee chair positions left to the ruling party by the Democratic Party. Floor Leader Choo expressed his intention to resign from the floor leader position, taking responsibility for the parliamentary organization negotiations.
