Jang Dong-hyuk, the leader of South Korea's People Power Party, has faced increasing pressure to resign after he declined to cut his ties with former President Yoon Suk-yeol. In response to growing dissent from within the party, the National Assembly Members' Council issued a statement supporting Jang, declaring him as a legitimate leader backed by over 1.15 million party members. They demanded that actions undermining his leadership cease immediately, asserting that his legitimacy should not be questioned.

The Council criticized the 25 former and current party members who had previously called for Jang's resignation, labeling their actions as divisive and disrespectful to party members. They argued that those demanding Jang's resignation had abandoned their responsibilities as leaders when the party faced challenges. Furthermore, the Council accused these dissenters of profiting off their past relations with the party while not contributing to its current struggles, thus undermining party unity and integrity.

Finally, the statement further condemned attempts to align with former party leader Han Dong-hoon as an affront to the party's order, asserting that such actions only served to escalate divisions within the People Power Party. The ongoing turmoil and power struggles within the party continue to raise questions about its cohesion and direction, particularly as the party aims to maintain its legitimacy and connection to its supporters amidst internal controversies.
