On the 19th, as former President Yoon Seok-yeol received a life sentence on charges of insurrection, Jang Dong-hyuk, the leader of the People’s Power Party, chose to remain silent, ignoring calls for him to sever ties with Yoon. During Yoon's trial, the court recognized that the declaration of martial law on December 3 constituted an insurrection. Despite the significant judicial decision, Jang refrained from making any public comments regarding the trial or the implications of his party’s former president’s conviction. This silence raises concerns among party members that Jang is missing a critical opportunity to distance himself from Yoon before upcoming elections.
