In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea and Chairman Lee Jae-myung welcomed the acquittal, saying, "It is a must-have decision after the first trial of the perjury teacher."
The people's power is difficult to accept the ruling, but they say they will watch the rest of the trial, saying they will respect the judgment of the court.
I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Son Hyo-jung!
First, please tell us the Democratic Party atmosphere.
[Reporter]
When Lee Jae-myung was acquitted in the first trial of perjury teacher charges, the Democratic Party of Korea immediately welcomed him.
Immediately after the ruling, the leadership held a private meeting at the National Assembly, where Cho Seung-rae, a senior spokesman, told reporters that the acquittal of Lee was a judgment that was not guilty.
In addition, it was evaluated as a ruling that stopped the attempt of judicial murder against the violent opposition opposition suppression by political prosecutors and established judicial justice and common sense.
He urged the Yoon Suk Yeol regime to restore politics now, saying that attempts to cover the eyes of the public with opposition suppression investigations are bound to fail.
When asked by reporters about his feelings shortly after returning to the National Assembly, Lee Jae-myung also answered, "It's not a special feeling, but rather a must-have reason."
Democratic lawmakers welcomed it in unison.
Supreme Council member Kim Byung-joo said it was a ruling that proved that he could not create a crime that was not on social media, and lawmaker Jung Sung-ho, the leader of the pro-Myeong faction, also expressed his gratitude to the judiciary.
There are a series of reactions within the party that they have overcome one crisis.
There were many predictions that a heavier sentence would come out in this trial than in the first trial of violation of the Public Official Election Act, which was previously sentenced to deprivation of the right to vote, but it seems to be taking a breather with the acquittal.
In the future, the Democratic Party is expected to maintain a solid single battalion centered on Lee and put more power into the offensive through the presidential election, which is based on the Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor Act.
However, the higher court remains in the future, and the results of other trials, including the alleged violation of the Public Official Election Act, remain variables.

Then, let's look at the ruling party's atmosphere, which has been highlighting representative Lee's judicial risks every day.
[Reporter]
The power of the people is embarrassed by Lee's acquittal.
Earlier, some lawmakers openly declared that they would be sentenced to two years in prison.
Initially, there was talk that the leadership would immediately announce its position immediately after the representative Lee's ruling, but it was replaced in writing.
CEO Han Dong-hoon said on social media, "There are parts that are difficult to accept, but I respect the ruling, and the more I do this, the more I will focus on people's livelihoods."
Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho also expressed his respect for the judiciary's judgment, but said it was a disappointing result.
Some in the party point out that the person who received the teacher was fined 5 million won for perjury, but the judgment that he did not actually teach is contradictory.
For the ruling party, it seems inevitable that the plan to use today's sentence as an opportunity to rebound support for the government and the ruling party and turn the situation around following the 15th will be disrupted.
On top of that, some predict that the ruling party's struggles will deepen as the party leadership is engaged in an open war of words over the party's bulletin board controversy surrounding representative Han Dong-hoon.
So far, I'm Son Hyo-jung of YTN in the National Assembly.
