The opposition Democratic Party reacted strongly to the Presidential Office's decision. Party spokesperson Jang Yoon-mi described the move as "dictatorial." The party has also called for Cho Hee-dae, another Supreme Court nominee, to voluntarily withdraw his nomination. Failure to do so, they warned, could lead to further actions.

Internal political tensions were also highlighted, with reports of clashes between Democratic Party figures Kim Min-seok and Chung Cheong-rae. Kim Min-seok's proposed "New ABC Theory" suggests that the ruling party cannot maintain power without shifts in its approach. His appointment of party officials, including 정봉주 and 최재성, as special advisors has also drawn attention.

This message has reportedly caused some concern among members of the People Power Party, with some lawmakers choosing not to attend events where she is present. Separately, a prosecutor sought a five-year prison sentence for Han Duck-soo in a first-instance trial related to his failure to appoint constitutional court judges.
