The National Power Party recently witnessed a significant challenge to its leadership as Jang Dong-hyuk rejected calls for substantial reform, despite the party members' resolution against the so-called 'Yoon Again' movement. Following the resolution on the 9th, there has been a noticeable lack of action or commitment from leadership to address the concerns presented by party members. Jang's refusal to comply with demands for personnel changes and early establishment of an innovative election committee has left many observers questioning the intentions behind the party's resolutions and whether they were merely performative measures aimed at placating discontent within the ranks.

A notable conflict arose when Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon responded to Jang's stance by refusing to register for additional candidacy slots, applying pressure to the party leadership. However, Jang rebuffed this by insisting that fairness in candidate selection is paramount. This tension suggests a deepening divide within the party, where adherents of the 'Yoon Again' faction are being favored over calls for reform from critics. Jang's claims of respect for the resolutions become more questionable with his actions, culminating in a perceived betrayal of those who expected genuine change.

The atmosphere in the National Power Party remains fraught with contention, especially with Jang's directive to halt discussions on disciplinary cases before local elections, potentially shielding certain members from accountability. Observers noted this as an effort to maintain the status quo, particularly regarding controversial figures within the party. Despite ongoing dissent, party members like floor leader Song Eon-seok have expressed their support for Jang, highlighting a clash between the calls for accountability and the current leadership’s approach to governance, ultimately testing the party’s integrity and commitment to reform.
