On the 10th, In Yo-han of the People Power Party said she hopes to wrap up a year and a half of legislative work, leave her parliamentary seat, and return to her main profession.

At a news conference at the National Assembly's press center that day, In said, "The unfortunate events that have continued over the past year since martial law under the Yoon Suk-yeol administration are things that must be overcome for the future of the Republic of Korea," adding, "There is no change without sacrifice. I will first set down all vested interests myself and return to my main profession to contribute to national unity and national development."

In said, "Political moves that follow only camp logic are making the public's lives harder and becoming an obstacle to national development," adding, "Only by breaking away from black-and-white thinking and camp logic can national unity be achieved."

In previously served as director of the International Health Care Center at Yonsei University College of Medicine's Severance Hospital, chaired the People Power Party's innovation committee in 2023, and joined the 22nd National Assembly as a proportional representative. With In's resignation, the seat will be succeeded by former Sejong City Council member Lee So-hee.
