In the midst of being amnesty even within the leadership due to an independent action, along with criticism from strong supporters that an apology could not win the election and firing internally, it became difficult to even implement the party reform as a cause, so I had no choice but to apologize to the insider of the party, not the people I had made in the first place. that there wasn't.



Chairman Park also confessed that before the local elections, disciplinary action was difficult for Rep. Choi Kang-wook, who is undergoing disciplinary procedures due to the controversy over sexual harassment remarks.
