Yoo Seung-min, a member of the People Power Party, stated on August 2 that "the only way to stop the tyranny of the Lee Jae-myung administration is to secure a majority in the April 2028 general election." He emphasized that to win the election, the People Power Party must pursue a path of unity and innovation.

In a post on his Facebook page, Yoo expressed his dismay at the Democratic Party members who cheered as a bill to abolish the prosecutor's supplementary investigation rights and include provisions for dismissing charges was passed. He likened their reaction to that of a cult living in a dogmatic world.

Yoo referred to the centrist, metropolitan, and youth demographics as the "middle-ground youth" and advised that the party must target these groups. He warned that without unity and innovation, the party would fail to win their support, jeopardizing hopes for the next general and presidential elections. He cautioned that failing to overcome internal conflicts would only aid the Democratic Party's long-term rule and betray history.

He criticized the party's internal strife, stating, "There are no significant differences in political philosophy, policy, or party direction, yet we fight as if we are mortal enemies solely based on our stance on impeachment." He labeled the internal disputes over impeachment as the most serious form of misconduct.

Yoo lamented, "Despite the ongoing crises in real estate, the stock market, the deterioration of the criminal procedure law, constitutional amendments for presidential term extensions, and the worst youth unemployment, the People Power Party's report card is shockingly inadequate."
