Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, criticized the past 500 days of the Lee Jae-myung administration as a "terrible time" on October 16.

In a post on his Facebook, Jang stated, "While the people are suffering in a war for their livelihoods, the president is engaged in a battle with 'Moon Jae-in, Cho Kuk, Kim Eo-jun, Jeong Cheong-rae, and Yoo Si-min.'"

He added, "Real estate, prices, and interest rates have all skyrocketed. Agricultural land transactions have come to a halt, and prices have plummeted. The stock market has crashed, and the national pension is at risk, leaving only those who believed the president's advice to 'sell their homes and invest in stocks' as fools."

Jang further criticized, "While he made 2.5 billion won through the 'Democratic Party of Korea,' he drops tax burdens on the people and only thinks of ways to profit the leftist cartel by installing solar power facilities on farmland."

He also listed recent national defense and security issues, including North Korea's nuclear advancements and missile launches, provocations with landmines in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), restrictions on U.S. intelligence sharing, the consolidation of military academies, the return of wartime operational control, and the relocation of the Defense Ministry to Sejong City. Jang raised concerns about public safety due to the dismantling of the prosecution and the abolition of supplementary investigative powers, and pointed out that President Lee was golfing during the recent ceiling collapse incident in a Daegu shopping center.

He concluded, "It has only been 500 days, with 1,326 days remaining. If we fill those days, South Korea may disappear. The time for 'national decision' is not far off."
