During the Constitution Day holiday, Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, emphasized on July 19 the need for an immediate special investigation into election interference. He stated, "We must uncover the truth through a special investigation recommended by the People Power Party as soon as possible. This is the only way for politics to respond to the public's anger."

In a Facebook post, Jang remarked, "For citizens, Constitution Day was 'Olympic Park Day.'" He questioned the legitimacy of a political system that fails to protect even a single vote, asserting, "If we cannot prevent the destruction of the Constitution and safeguard the people's votes, what reason is there for such politics to exist? I will fight alongside you until the end. I will ensure that our pure intentions are realized."

After resuming his 'SNS politics' on July 16, Jang continued to criticize the ruling party's push for the merger of military academies. In a separate post, he stated, "The policy of merging military academies is a long-term issue that affects the future of national defense. We must adequately gather public opinion and carefully consider the views of the military and experts. It is not something that one administration can push through unilaterally."

He expressed concern, saying, "Yet, they are proceeding with haste, showing no willingness to listen to any opinions. We cannot help but suspect the true motives behind the merger of military academies. I sincerely hope that the goal of the Lee Jae-myung administration is not the collapse of national defense."
