After concluding a closed-door Supreme Council meeting that day, Lee told reporters, "I hope you remember that completely giving up the exercise of authority, or not participating in the impeachment vote that is the aspiration of the people and protects the values of the democratic republic, or opposing it, will ultimately be recorded in history and be a matter for eternal responsibility," adding, "The Democratic Party will do its best to ensure that the course of history is not distorted at this historic moment."

Regarding the vote, Lee said, "I do not know," and added, "We cannot know whether they will act for the people from the perspective of justice, or whether they will act purely for personal gain or party interests."
