The Democratic Party's election of a new floor leader has sparked criticism of a 'pro-Myung unipolar system,' but Go Min-jeong, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, responded by saying, "That's the perspective of those who want to see it that way."

On the 8th, on YTN's 'News Fighting,' Go said about floor leader Park Chan-dae, "We served together as the 3rd-term floor leaders in the 21st National Assembly," adding, "He is someone whose strength lies in persistently persuading the opposition. He also makes considerable efforts to help others understand, so he can fulfill his role very well."

Regarding the appointment of Park Seong-jun and Kim Yong-min as deputy floor leaders, some in the political sphere have criticized the Democratic Party as a 'pro-Myung unipolar system.' Go dismissed this as "the view of those who want to see it that way." She continued, "Everyone is aware of what the people's judgment was through the recent general election defeat," and explained, "What the Democratic Party must do is not to fall into the frame of factional conflict but to work harder to be evaluated based on competence."

Go also insisted, "The special investigation law for Chae Sang-byeong must be implemented." She said, "This issue transcends progressives and conservatives and is something that will shake the entire administration, so it will inevitably be accepted."

She continued her criticism regarding the special investigation law related to First Lady Kim Geon-hee. "The special investigation will be handled within the National Assembly, but the prosecution's attempt to investigate the luxury bags seems nothing more than a prelude ahead of the president's second anniversary press conference," she said. She added, "The president will likely say it is inappropriate to respond because it is an ongoing investigation," and pointed out, "For it to be meaningful, the prosecution's investigation must clearly address the parts that the public is concerned about."

Meanwhile, Go emphasized regarding the revival of the Office of Civil Affairs, "it is intended to shield against various judicial risks," adding, "Ultimately, it will depend on how it is implemented, and we will watch closely."
