Regarding President Yoon Seok-yeol's national address announced that day, the council members expressed their deep indignation at "the national address of Yoon Seok-yeol, the suspect of treason," and collectively condemned him. They stated, "In the situation where demands for resignation are being refused, we judge that military command cannot be entrusted even for 'one minute and one second' to Yoon Seok-yeol, the suspect lost in extreme right-wing delusions," and demanded his immediate arrest.

Park Moon-ok (The Democratic Party of Korea, Mokpo 3) criticized, "The outrageous remarks Yoon Seok-yeol, the ringleader of treason, showed to the people during his 30-minute address were exactly like those of a dictator such as Chun Doo-hwan, who trampled Gwangju with military boots in 1980," adding, "This is a desperate attempt to divide the entire Republic of Korea into progressives and conservatives and to rally the extreme right-wing conservative forces." She further argued, "The National Assembly can no longer afford to delay the impeachment resolution. The impeachment bill must be reported to the plenary session and passed on the 14th."

Meanwhile, members of the Jeonnam Provincial Council (The Democratic Party of Korea, Progressive Party, Justice Party) have been conducting a relay hunger strike demanding Yoon Seok-yeol's impeachment since the 9th.
