In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea urged the investigative agency to investigate the arrest of the arrested president of Yoon Suk Yeol, saying he is showing cowardice until the end.

At the same time, he is taking a "two-track" step, emphasizing diplomacy and people's livelihoods.

The Democratic Party of Korea criticized President Yoon Suk Yeol for blatantly obstructing the investigation by refusing to make a statement and delaying the investigation even after his arrest.

Even on the day of his arrest, he lashed out at him, saying he was spreading delusions through handwritten letters.

The ruling party's argument that representative Lee Jae-myung's trial should also proceed quickly defined it as a "watering" to turn the public's attention away from the investigation and impeachment proceedings of President Yoon.

It is believed that the power of the people, who have already begun to have an early presidential election in mind, has entered the check of Lee, the leading candidate.

At the same time, the Democratic Party of Korea has issued a series of messages on diplomacy and people's livelihoods, expressing its willingness to resolve the chaos in state affairs as the majority party in the floor.

A delegation was sent to the inauguration of U.S. President Trump to confirm the solidity of the Korea-U.S. alliance and to re-promote the revision of the commercial law, which had been suspended in the aftermath of the martial law incident.

He also repeatedly insisted on the need for an extra budget to restore people's livelihoods and urged the ruling party to cooperate.

Lee will meet with the heads of the five largest commercial banks next week to hold an on-site meeting on the theme of "win-win finance," including support for the vulnerable by financial companies.

Although it is within the margin of error, the Democratic Party of Korea has not been able to laugh in the face of the president's arrest and impeachment, with a poll showing that the ruling and opposition party's approval ratings have been overturned in four months.

Attention is focusing on whether the "two-track" strategy of taking care of people's livelihoods and the independent counsel's rebellion can be a breakthrough.
