After a discussion on election fraud theories hosted by Lee Jun-seok, leader of the Reform Party, Jang Dong-hyuk, the leader of the People Power Party, announced that he would form a task force to monitor elections. His statement was met with backlash from conservative media, which suggested that this move contradicts the general public's views. The Chosun Ilbo criticized Jang for potentially aligning with unfounded claims of election fraud while underlining that those promoting such views failed to provide substantial evidence during the discussion.

The Chosun Ilbo pointed out that following the discussion, Jang emphasized the need to reform the electoral system to regain public trust. This echoes sentiments from groups within his party that support the concept of election fraud, as noted by Jang's alliance with influential figures who have perpetuated these claims. The paper highlighted that while this strategy might solidify Jang's support among hardcore constituents, it risks alienating a broader electorate, especially as public confidence in the ruling party languishes at around 17%.

In a similar editorial, the Joongang Ilbo remarked on the persistent belief in election fraud among their opposition leader. They noted that over five million viewers engaged with the discussion, reflecting a troubling trend of misinformation within the political sphere. They expressed concern that Jang has continued to associate with extreme factions, which could alienate moderate voters who oppose both the junta and the impeachment process. Thus, if Jang maintains this trajectory, he risks turning away a significant portion of the electorate, potentially jeopardizing his party's future in the national landscape.
