The ruling party said, "Minju can't protect Lee Jae-myung even if he hears candles in the square."

The People's Power urged the Democratic Party of Korea to immediately stop agitating to divide the public opinion, saying it cannot protect representative Lee Jae-myung with candles, regarding the announcement of the "Pan-National Congress to Condemn First Lady Kim Gun-hee" on the 2nd of next month.

Floor spokesman Park Joon-tae said in a commentary, "Even if the Democratic Party of Korea goes out to the square again and holds candles, no people will sympathize with the agitation for representative Lee."

He then argued that if the Democratic Party holds a candle, the people will hold a torch and prevent the Democratic Party's attempts to destroy the constitution and obstruct justice.

In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea said it would prepare a "long padding" ahead of the agitation of the square, but stressed that the power of the people will focus on people's livelihoods so that everyone can spend the cold winter warmly.
