Chairman Park Ji-hyun opened the door by saying, "After yesterday's press conference, there were a lot of people asking why they were apologizing."
Chairman Park said, "I decided that it was urgent to apologize promptly and appeal for another chance before the people's anger against the Democrats who did not reflect on them deepens."
He added, "We should discuss the resignation of 586 politicians to restore public trust. "He hit directly.

At the same time, he pointed out the suspicion of Rep. Choi Kang-wook's 'sexual harassment remarks', and attacked, "(The prosecution reform is urgently needed) 'Let's take care of Rep. Choi Kang-wook' is definitely wrong. Politics that say nothing out of fear is dead politics."
He added, "No matter what difficulties the Democratic Party may face, it must never succumb to a text bomb from the extreme supporters."
Regarding the case, Chairman Park said, "Even though the party's ethics referee requested the non-chairman to complete the disciplinary process before the election, the party decided to hold the next meeting on June 20, after the election." Even though I suffered so much, I am procrastinating like this again.”
Chairman Park emphasized, "Even by activating the emergency disciplinary authority of the non-captain, the disciplinary procedure for Rep. Choi Kang-wook will be completed reasonably and promptly."
In addition, Chairman Park proposed that the candidates for the governor of the metropolitan area and the electoral committee jointly adopt a public apology letter containing measures for party reform and reflection and present it in front of the public.
