Han Dong-hoon, former representative of the People's Power, resigned five months after taking office.
Former representative Han said he did not regret preventing martial law and approving impeachment, although he said he was insufficient.
Amid the ongoing chaos of the ruling party, Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung made sharp remarks, saying the conservative party advocates fanatical acts without reflection.

Han Dong-hoon, former representative of the press conference, please tell us in detail.
[Reporter]
The first word of former representative Han Dong-hoon's press conference was, "I'm putting down the leadership of the People's Power Party."
He then said the resignation of the supreme council members caused the leadership to collapse, making it impossible for him to carry out his duties as a representative.
However, he made it clear that it is the spirit of true conservatism that has taken the lead in preventing the illegal martial law of the president produced by the party, and that he does not regret voting for impeachment.
However, he also did not forget the check against Representative Lee Jae-myung, saying that martial law is not justifying the Democratic Party's runaway.
Let's hear former CEO Han's remarks.
[Han Dong-hoon / All People's Power Representative: That night, I was so afraid that I wouldn't be able to stop it. It's painful to think of our heartbroken supporters, but I still don't regret it. The timer for Lee Jae-myung's trial is going on without stopping.
At the press conference, the floor leadership, including floor leader Kwon Sung-dong, who has virtually pressured former representative Han to step down, also visited and saw him off.
Former representative Han left the National Assembly after greeting his supporters, and in the process, he left the word "I don't give up."

With Han's resignation, the people's power is now going to the emergency committee system, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, it is the sixth time since the launch of the People's Power, and it is already the fifth time in the Yoon Suk Yeol government.
In the morning, a senior meeting was held to discuss the appointment of the emergency committee chairman.
Rep. Park Yong-eun, who attended the meeting, said she believes the party's personnel to lead the party's stability, harmony, and reform are appropriate.
It is said that no specific person has been mentioned, but floor leader Kwon Sung-dong is expected to gather his will at a general meeting of lawmakers in a while based on the results of the senior meeting.
When a new leadership is launched, the biggest task is to deal with the internal feud within the party.
Han's aides reacted furiously, saying that even though they knew that even pro-Yoon Seok-yeol-gye could not prevent impeachment, they held Han responsible and even led him to resign.
In a phone call with YTN, Rep. Chin-gye criticized that the public will evaluate the situation, saying, "Isn't it the atmosphere that Han is being pushed out of the old group called pro-Yoon-gye?"
In an MBC radio interview, Shin Ji-ho, the head of the strategic planning department, said that the current party atmosphere is that the party leader should be expelled from the party through an audit of the party's bulletin board.
There are also concerns within the party that the pro-impeachment party will vote.
Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun, who is classified as a pro-Yoon Seok-yeol faction and has argued against the impeachment bill, emphasized the unity of the ruling party on social media, saying that pro-choice lawmakers are also comrades.

Let's also look at the Democratic Party situation.
You're repeatedly demanding participation in the State Security Council, right?
[Reporter]
Following yesterday, Chairman Lee Jae-myung reiterated his call for the National Security Council to participate in the ruling party at this morning's meeting.
In particular, today, the leadership seems to be reaching out, saying that it can be taken by the people or limited to the economy or people's livelihood.
But at the end of the meeting, he said, "We should not let an unrepentant conservative party defending martial law come back to power," so let's hear it for ourselves.
[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader: I defend this maniacal act that can't be called crazy. And I'm doing my best to bring him back to life. Aren't you collectively trying to get that power back to life?]
The Democratic Party is also focusing on so-called "leaving the power of the ruling party" by driving the impeachment momentum.
A key Democratic Party official told YTN that the ruling party's duties along with the president were suspended.
Rep. Park Soo-hyun also said on YTN radio that the president has been suspended from his duties due to a rebellion and a rebellion, but he still thinks he is the ruling party.
In particular, the Democratic Party defines martial law as a "civil war" and is conducting strong attacks through special prosecutors and parliamentary investigations.
Floor leader Park Chan-dae called on the ruling party to immediately accept the independent counsel's rebellion by acting president Han Deok-soo, saying that now is not the time to debate party politics.
Park Sung-joon, the deputy floor leader, also reiterated his willingness to pursue a parliamentary investigation in an MBC radio interview, saying that the National Assembly, the elected power, should inform the public of the truth.
We are also continuing to press for a speedy impeachment trial.
The Democratic Party of Korea has begun the process of forming an impeachment committee and has repeatedly pressured the ruling party to cooperate in accordance with its plan to finalize the appointment of a constitutional judge with three vacancies within this year.
The Democratic Party of Korea is also holding a general meeting of lawmakers, where discussions on ways to stabilize state affairs and floor issues, including the formation of a consultative body, are expected to take place.
