The People Power Party intensified criticism of the Lee Jae-myung administration during Chuseok, accusing it of broad governance, economic and security failures. At a National Assembly press conference on the 27th, party leader Jang Dong-hyeok demanded responsibility over a nationwide land survey, forced sales, real estate policies, the western-front Demilitarized Zone mine explosion on the 21st and the repatriation of North Korean prisoners of war. Chief spokesperson Choi Bo-yoon separately called for a full personnel overhaul and policy shift after the administration passed its one-year mark, while chief floor spokesperson Choi Soo-jin demanded a full National Assembly Defense Committee session and transparent explanations of the blast and delayed investigation. Jang said future party action, including possible protests, would depend on the Democratic Party of Korea's response.
