Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized on the 5th, saying, "The recent sharp increase in incitement to violence and terrorist threats is largely the responsibility of President Yoon Seok-yeol, Kwon Young-se, the emergency committee chairman of the People Power Party, and Kwon Seong-dong, the floor leader of the People Power Party."

At the party's supreme council meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, Floor Leader Park stated, "They are advocating for rebellion, denying the constitution and laws, and constantly spreading fake news, which causes people to blindly follow them."


He added, "In particular, Emergency Committee Chairman Kwon Young-se and Floor Leader Kwon Seong-dong do not hesitate to attack the judiciary and slander the Constitutional Court," and directly criticized, "Acting Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance Choi Sang-mok is blatantly forcing unconstitutional acts by telling the Constitutional Court to reject the appointment of Ma Eun-hyuk as a Constitutional Court judge. At this level, isn't this behavior similar to that of South American drug cartels denying the national system?"


He also emphasized, "After the December 3rd rebellion incident, right-wing communities and right-wing rallies have been inciting rebellion and predicting terrorist attacks against prominent politicians. The police have launched an investigation after a YouTube video by Korean history instructor Jeon Han-gil, who advocated election fraud theories and even incited to 'wipe out' the Constitutional Court at rallies, contained comments implying bomb terrorism."



He continued, "Dangerous posts such as purchasing firearms or making homemade bombs are consistently appearing in right-wing online communities," and urged, "We call for thorough police investigations into those who incite violence and terrorism, including Jeon Kwang-hoon (pastor of Sarang Jeil Church) and Jeon Han-gil (Korean history instructor), as well as those conspiring terrorism."
