Jang also mentioned that during the workshop, he met with former President Park Geun-hye and expressed his gratitude for her support during his hunger strike earlier this year and for her help with campaign rallies in the last local elections. According to reports, former President Park told Jang, "I hope the party’s leadership and parliamentary group will continue to lead the party as united as they are now, or even more so in the future."


Jang remarked, "I will take former President Park’s comments to heart, unite the party as one, and stand firmly against the Lee Jaemyung administration and the Democratic Party. By doing so, we aim to become a more competent alternative party that can better resolve issues affecting people's livelihoods."



Regarding former President Park’s emphasis on trust and camaraderie, Jang stated, "I will work hard to build a unified strength." However, he drew a line, adding, "Fighting among ourselves rather than joining hands to stand together is not genuine trust or camaraderie."
