The People Power Party congratulated Kim Min-seok on his election as the new leader of the Democratic Party of Korea and expressed its hope that the Lee Jae-myung administration and the Democratic Party would prioritize responsible politics for the people over their own interests. The People Power Party emphasized that it would closely watch whether Representative Kim would remain a "bulletproof" ruling party for Lee Jae-myung or transform into a ruling party for the people. It also criticized the "one-man rule," accusing President Lee Jae-myung of using the semiconductor industry as a political favor for Kim Min-seok's election. The People Power Party criticized candidate Kim Min-seok's past opposition to the complete abolition of the prosecution's supplementary investigative powers and the resumption of President Lee Jae-myung's trial, arguing that this undermined judicial independence and the separation of powers. Choi Eun-seok, senior spokesperson for the party, also urged Representative Kim Min-seok to criticize wrongdoings in state affairs, engage in dialogue with the opposition party, and pursue a politics of compromise.
