After finishing a meeting on people’s economy held at the Small Business Association in Yeouido, Seoul, Lee met with reporters and responded to a question, “You mentioned in a previous interview that you would accept the Constitutional Court's decision; is there any change in your stance?” by saying this.

In an interview with Channel A last month, Lee stated, “We must naturally accept the Constitutional Court’s decision” and questioned, “What happens if we do not accept the decision according to the constitutional order of a democratic republic?”

The People Power Party is urging Lee to clearly express his willingness to accept the Constitutional Court's decision. Kwon Young-se, the emergency committee chair of the People Power Party, noted the previous day, “I have mentioned several times the necessity of acceptance,” and added, “Even now, the Democratic Party must promise to accept the Constitutional Court's ruling.”
