On the 5th, Rep. Park Rae-gun of the Justice Party responded to the criticism that the plan to create a satellite party was an attempt to circumvent the law by saying, “Creating a satellite party is a way of survival under the current system.” In response, Rep. Jang Hye-young of the Progressive Party expressed her surprise at Rep. Park’s remark, saying, “It’s amazing to see such sophistry.” On the same day, Rep. Park appeared on a radio program and said, “If we don’t have a satellite party, we will not be able to form a coalition government with the Democratic Party.” He also said, “The satellite party will not be a puppet party, and we will have a clear distinction in roles and responsibilities.” Rep. Park emphasized, “The Justice Party will not give up its identity and values.” Earlier on the 4th, Rep. Lee Jung-hee of the Progressive Party and Rep. Kim Jong-hoon of the Democratic Party submitted a complaint to the National Election Commission against Rep. Park and Lee Nak-yon, the leader of the Open Democratic Party, claiming that their plan to create a satellite party was an attempt to evade the law.

Park Rae-gun, a representative of the Human Rights Institute, and Song Kyung-young, a Catholic priest, expressed support for Song Gye-in, a basic income party candidate who was nominated for the position of Secretary-General for Basic Income after being named as a candidate for the position of Minister in charge of Gender Equality.

Song Gye-in's stance was praised by the two individuals, who acknowledged her remarkable achievements as a member of the National Assembly. The two also highlighted that Song Gye-in had consistently supported the rights and well-being of marginalized and minority groups in society. They emphasized that her candidacy represented one of the few viable survival strategies for political minorities in a political landscape dominated by two major parties.

Park Rae-gun and Song Kyung-young cautioned that a premature departure of Song Gye-in from the National Assembly would result in the loss of a valuable opportunity for young politicians to make a significant impact. Song Gye-in's response to the criticism was met with outrage. The former Minister acknowledged that her statement had been made by a citizen with experience in civil society activism.

She criticized the "deceptive eyes" of those who had supported her candidacy, arguing that her actions undermined the principles of democracy and human rights, and posed a threat to the future of political actors.
