Chin Myung, targeting Im Jong-seok, said, "Still in a vested attitude...Friendly gunfire".

The Democratic Innovation Conference, a pro-democracy organization within the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized former Presidential Chief of Staff Lim Jong-seok for trying to teach the current political reality with a still vested attitude, let alone reflect.

The Innovation Conference issued a commentary, saying that if they do it, it is a democratization movement, and if others do it, it is just "politics of enemies and fights," and that there is no choice but to hear the sound of "Nae-nambool."

He then said that shooting at allies to take care of poor political assets is nothing more than a selfish act of self-destruction, stressing that the innovation conference will surely overcome and innovate its vested interests in the party with Chairman Lee Jae-myung.

Supreme Council member Jeon Hyun-hee also criticized on his SNS, saying, "Every member of the Democratic Party knows where criticism should be directed now," adding, "A comrade is a person who helps in times of need."
