Representative Han Dong-hoon's first words at the press conference were, "I'm putting down the leadership of the People's Power Party."

He then said the resignation of the supreme council members caused the leadership to collapse, making it impossible for him to carry out his duties as a representative.

[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of People's Power: I tried everything to find a better way forward for this country, not impeachment, but I couldn't.

It's painful to think about our heartbroken supporters, but I still don't regret it.

At the press conference, floor leaders, including floor leader Kwon Sung-dong, who pressed Han to resign, also visited and saw him off, and aides of Han are raising their voices, saying it was a predicted step.

You're repeatedly demanding participation in the State Security Council, right?

Following yesterday, Chairman Lee Jae-myung reiterated his call for the National Security Council to participate in the ruling party at this morning's meeting.

In particular, today, he issued a political message that seemed to be reaching out, saying that the initiative can be taken by the people's power and that the field can be limited to the economy and people's livelihoods.

The Democratic Party is also focusing on so-called "leaving the power of the ruling party" by driving the impeachment momentum.

A key Democratic Party official told YTN that the ruling party's duties along with the president were suspended.

Rep. Park Soo-hyun also said on YTN radio that the president has been suspended from his duties due to a rebellion and a rebellion, but he still thinks he is the ruling party.

The Democratic Party of Korea has entered the process of forming an impeachment committee and has repeatedly pressed the ruling party to cooperate under the plan to complete the appointment of a constitutional judge with three vacant seats within this year.

Floor leader Park Chan-dae called on the ruling party to immediately accept the independent counsel for the civil war that Han Deok-soo, the acting president, passed the National Assembly, saying it is not the time to argue about party politics.

The Democratic Party also holds a general meeting in the afternoon.
