On April 21, the People Power Party announced the formation of the National Assembly Land Return Promotion Committee at the National Assembly in Yeouido and stated its intention to push for the complete relocation of the National Assembly to Sejong.

Kwon Youngse, interim leader of the People Power Party, said at the emergency committee meeting held at the National Assembly that day, "There are many historic tasks ahead of us, including constitutional amendment, but we must also pursue physical and spatial reform," adding, "As promised during the last general election, we will end the era of the Yeouido National Assembly, a symbol of outdated politics, and open a new era of the National Assembly in Sejong."

Kwon explained that the complete relocation of the National Assembly to Sejong is "not simply about moving a space," but "a decision to shift the political center to the regions, create new momentum for balanced development, and establish a new political order for more efficient national governance."

The site of the National Assembly in Yeouido is expected to be returned to the public. Kwon added, "We will redesign Yeouido as a public cultural space," and "transform it into an open plaza where young people and future generations can freely share and participate."

To this end, Kwon stated, "We will form the Yeouido National Assembly Land Return Promotion Committee," and emphasized, "We will listen directly to the voices of the people and ensure that the public directly enjoys the benefits by carrying out this initiative together with them." He also pledged, "We will further accelerate the construction of the second presidential office in Sejong," and "By letting go of vested interests and taking action rather than just talking, we will reshape the political landscape and vigorously usher in a new era of politics in Sejong that improves people's lives."

Shin Dongwook, chief spokesperson for the People Power Party, told reporters after the meeting, "The site in Sejong has already been determined," but added, "We still need to review the timing and method."
