On the 2nd, the Presidential Office strongly criticized the ruling by the opposition party alone in the National Assembly to pass the impeachment motion against Lee Jin-sook, Chairperson of the Korea Communications Commission, calling it an "anti-constitutional and illegal act."

Jeong Hye-jeon, spokesperson for the Presidential Office, said at a briefing at the Yongsan Presidential Office that afternoon, "We deeply regret the opposition party's forced passage of the impeachment motion against the Chairperson of the Korea Communications Commission," adding, "They said it was the first time in constitutional history to impeach an acting official, and now, within a week, they have unprecedentedly brought up the impeachment of a newly appointed Chairperson of the Korea Communications Commission."

Spokesperson Jeong said, "I want to ask how the Chairperson could have committed any serious constitutional or legal violations in just one day of work," and added, "The Chairperson will confidently face the Constitutional Court's judgment."

He continued, "The responsibility for incapacitating the Korea Communications Commission, which leads the 4th industrial revolution sectors such as broadcasting, IT, and telecommunications, lies entirely with the opposition party," pointing out, "Since the 22nd National Assembly convened, this is the seventh impeachment motion filed by the Democratic Party in the past two months, averaging one motion every nine days."

Spokesperson Jeong criticized, "I want to ask what difference there is between North Korea sending dirty balloons and the opposition party conducting dirty impeachments," and said, "While the opposition party is recklessly using impeachment and special investigations for political strife, not a single livelihood bill agreed upon by both ruling and opposition parties has been passed. The opposition party's tyranny goes beyond obstructing the Yoon Seok-yeol administration; it is holding back the Republic of Korea."

He added, "Is the opposition party not afraid of the backlash from public opinion? They will face the judgment of the people," and concluded, "The Presidential Office will move forward looking only to the people."
