The key reason why Representative Chung Cheong-rae's remarks caused a political stir is because the implications they contain are reminiscent of the impeachment phase at the end of the past administration. The statement that "the government is short" uttered by the leader of the ruling party rather than the leader of the opposition party was enough to make the president and the party leadership appear to be in conflict with the supporters. Rep. Lee Eon-ju interpreted this as an indication of Representative Chung's will to confront the President, and diagnosed that the structure of the national convention had rapidly changed from the existing multilateral competition to a bilateral confrontation of 'President Lee Jae-myung vs. Chung Cheong-rae'. As a result, this statement strengthened the unity among party members to protect the president and served as a decisive variable in widening the gap in approval ratings between candidates.

Behind the power struggle surrounding the national convention lies the reality of conflicting public sentiment due to the insolvency of the National Election Commission. Controversies over suffrage violations, such as the lack of ballot papers and omission of voter lists, which emerged after the local elections, have sparked public outrage, but the Democratic Party is being criticized for focusing only on competition for party power and reorganization of its internal power structure rather than on these urgent public livelihood issues. Rep. Lee Eon-ju pointed out that the party's agenda was too far away from universal public sentiment, and raised his voice that restoring 'people's sovereignty', which is the party's identity, should take priority over the struggle for power within the party. It is a painful analysis that the fundamental cause of the decline in approval ratings is that the party is currently pursuing only party power while the people are asking about their right to vote.

The election appeal and re-election demands raised by the People Power Party are also another political test facing the Democratic Party. Although whether or not to re-elect a re-election is an area of ​​judgment for the judiciary, the fact that trust in election management has collapsed to the point where re-elections are even mentioned is painful for the Democratic Party. Rep. Lee Eon-ju sees the reform of the National Election Commission as not simply a matter of improving the system, but an essential political task to restore public trust. This is a warning that if the party is only immersed in power debates within the party without preparing concrete alternatives such as investigating hiring corruption or reviewing vote counts, it is in a precarious situation where even the goal of winning the general election cannot be guaranteed.

Ultimately, this situation comes down to the question of whether the Democratic Party will be able to elect leadership that reads the demands of a new era. The dominant opinion among some within the party is that the leadership needed during turbulent times, such as the suppression of civil war in the past, and the current leadership, which must now create full-scale results for the Lee Jae-myung administration and prepare for the future, must be different. Public opinion to protect the president, sparked by Representative Chung Cheong-rae's remarks, is expected to become an important judgment standard in the process of selecting the next leader. Supporters want a person who can stably support the president's administration of state affairs, and this trend will be reflected in the results of the national convention and become a key driving force in determining the future of the party.
