On the 23rd, Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, expressed strong criticism regarding a newly established initiative by lawmakers of the Democratic Party aimed at dismissing the indictment against President Lee Jae-myung. Referring to the remarks of prominent author Yoo Si-min, Jang described the action as 'madness' during a Supreme Council meeting at the National Assembly. He acknowledged that the approaching resumption of the trial could be causing anxiety among Democratic Party members, but he urged them to reconsider how such actions would be perceived by the public.

Jang also pointed out that the courts have already ruled that the privilege of non-prosecution for the president does not include the maintenance of charges, implying that investigations could still proceed. He asserted that the legal basis for halting the trial under this privilege has now dissipated, challenging the necessity for the trial to resume. Furthermore, other council members echoed Jang's criticism, with senior member Shin Dong-wook labeling the initiative as embarrassing and comparable to forming a criminal organization, claiming it undermines the legislative body's integrity.

The controversial 'Meeting for the Dismissal of Lee Jae-myung's Indictment' officially launched on the same day within the National Assembly, led by first-term lawmaker Lee Geon-tae, a former attorney in the Daejang-dong case. This new initiative within the Democratic Party sees 104 of its 162 lawmakers participating, leading to heightened tensions between the two political parties as the legal proceedings against President Lee loom closer.
