- He was reprimanded by the party's ethics committee for criticizing President Yoon Seok-yeol and the party, and stepped down from his position as chairman before completing his term.
On the same day, Rep. Lee posted on Facebook that the pro-Yoon Seok-yeol faction was on the offensive.

He made it clear that he would continue to serve as party chairman until the 14th, but with all five elected supreme committee members announcing their intention to resign, the 'Han Dong-hoon leadership' will be disbanded.
