Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon and independent lawmaker Han Dong-hoon were seen criticizing Jang Dong-hyuk, the leader of the People Power Party, in the same setting. The two attended a National Assembly forum hosted by lawmaker Kim Ki-hyun, where they strongly criticized Jang's party direction. This day also marked the first anniversary of Jang's inauguration.
Lawmaker Han emphasized that "we must move towards a people-centered approach," while Mayor Oh stated that "the party needs leadership that can create synergy through integration." Mayor Oh pointed out that the severe punishment of non-party members is "lower-level politics," criticizing the political actions of the ethics committee.
Lawmaker Han expressed concerns about the party's decision to re-elect all local committee chairs, stating that "the party has regressed and is heading towards a path of becoming a private entity." Jang did not publicly respond to the criticisms from the two, raising the possibility of escalating internal conflicts. He is expected to emphasize strengthening the party's struggle against the opposition and promoting a party centered on its members during a press conference.
