Jang Dong-hyeok Urges Ouster of 'Sister Hyeon-ji' and 'Gyeonggi Seongnam Line' as People Power Party Rallies Ahead of Chuseok

The People Power Party held a "Public Report Rally on the Misgovernance of the Lee Jae-myung Administration" at the National Assembly on Tuesday (September 22), strongly criticizing government policies.

Held just ahead of the Chuseok holiday, Tuesday's rally was attended by party leadership and lawmakers, as well as numerous local chapter heads, local council members, and party members.

Party members and supporters held the South Korean national flag and other banners, completely filling the steps in front of the National Assembly's main building.

They held signs with slogans such as "Strongly Condemn the Ruin of People's Livelihoods and the Destruction of Constitutional Order" and "Apologize, Mr. President, for Policy Failures and Personnel Disasters."

The People Power Party estimated the number of participants from across the country at about 10,000, based on counts from each local constituency.

At the rally, the People Power Party sharply criticized the overall state of national governance across various sectors, highlighting key issues such as the "collapse of the livelihood economy," the "destruction of foreign affairs and national security," and the "seizure of the judiciary."

In particular, the party raised its voice citing the Lee Jae-myung administration's real estate policy and tax code overhaul, the single-stock leveraged ETF crisis, a comprehensive survey on agricultural land, the consolidation of military academies, the abolition of prosecutors' supplementary investigation rights, and the resubmission of Supreme Court justice recommendations.

Party Leader Jang Dong-hyeok stated, "Those ruining South Korea right now are Lee Jae-myung and Kim Hyeon-ji. Yet, instead of kicking out 'Sister Hyeon-ji,' they only drove out 'Brother Hoon-sik.'" He added, "Now we must oust 'Sister Hyeon-ji' and the 'Gyeonggi Seongnam line.'"

He continued his criticism, saying, "Yet the president has not uttered a single word of apology and is only blaming others," adding, "In just a year and a half, South Korea has been turned into complete ruin and the lives of our people have tragically collapsed, yet he is dreaming of a second term."

Leader Jang shouted that trials involving President Lee Jae-myung must resume, remarking, "To defend the independence of the judiciary and protect the Republic of Korea that our people have defended at the cost of their lives for 70 years, exactly one thing is needed right now."

Floor Leader Jeong Jeom-sig led the chanting of slogans, including "Apologize, Mr. President, for Policy Failures and Personnel Disasters."
