Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the People Power Party, resigned from his position, reiterating his stance on the “illegal martial law.”
In a press conference, Han stated, “With the collapse of the Supreme Council due to the resignations of key members, it has become impossible to carry out my duties as party leader, so I am stepping down.”
Han expressed his apologies to the people “suffering under martial law.” He also urged that “there is no future for conservatives if they align with election conspiracy theorists.”
Additionally, on the night of the 3rd, Han mentioned, “If we hadn’t been able to end the martial law, there could have been bloodshed,” and said, “If the People Power Party is perceived as defending illegal martial law, it would be a betrayal of the achievements of the ruling party.”
Han emphasized that “even if martial law was wrong, this does not justify Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party,” adding that “the timer for Lee Jae-myung’s trial is still running and not much is left.”
Han concluded by stating, “I hope the country turns out well,” and left the press conference.
