On the 20th, former lawmaker Yoo Seong-min visited People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyeok, who has been on a hunger strike for six days, and said, "What the party must do most diligently now is to rebuild conservatism by earning the public's trust and support."

After meeting Jang at the National Assembly's Rotunda Hall that day, Yoo told reporters, "I came here thinking that when the party is in crisis, everyone should become one and find the path and solutions to rebuild conservatism," adding, "Only if we restore the public's trust and support can we stop the misrule and overreach of the Lee Jae-myung administration and stand as an alternative that gives hope to the people."

Regarding the deepening turmoil within the People Power Party over disciplinary action against former leader Han Dong-hoon, Yoo said, "Even if methods or expressions have differed, a far more important issue is how our party can earn the public's trust and support," adding, "For the greater cause, even if we think differently, this is the time to put our heads together, deliberate, and find solutions."

On the possibility of running for Gyeonggi governor in the June 3 local elections, he said, "I am not thinking about it at all," adding, "I don't think it is appropriate to talk about that today."
