The party also received coverage over the expulsion of Kim Kwan-young, governor of North Jeolla Province (Jeonbuk), prosecutor Park Sang-yong\u2019s refusal to take the witness oath at a parliamentary probe, and the Korea\u2013France summit. Below is a roundup of editorials from major newspapers on April 4.<\/p>\n<div id=\"tem-type-11\">\n<p><strong>People Power support collapse draws harsh words even from conservative outlets<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>A Korea Gallup poll put the People Power Party\u2019s support at a record low of 18%, with backing in Seoul falling to 13%. That prompted even conservative outlets to deliver sharp criticism of party leaders.<\/p>\n<p>The Chosun Ilbo, in \u201cPeople Power\u2019s Seoul support at 13% \u2014 now they can\u2019t even recruit candidates,\u201d reported, \u201cThe party is finding it difficult to recruit candidates in the Seoul metropolitan area. The Seoul party chair said, \u2018Candidates hesitate to run because they fear they won\u2019t even recover campaign costs.\u2019 Under current law, campaigns receive full reimbursement only if they secure at least 15% of the vote, and potential candidates worry they won\u2019t meet that threshold.\u201d The paper noted that while the party has weathered hard times before, it has never faced a situation in Seoul where campaign-cost reimbursement was a central concern. It criticized the party for failing to offer a sincere apology or reflection after the martial-law and impeachment episodes and for filling key posts with loyalists of the \u201cYoon again\u201d faction.<\/p>\n<p>The Dong-A Ilbo, in \u201cPeople Power trails the ruling party by 30 percentage points\u2026 Are they just going to sit and wither?\u201d, faulted the party\u2019s senior ranks. \u201cNo one in the People Power leadership has taken responsibility. The party counts 34 veteran lawmakers with three or more terms who could steady the party. Yet none have expressed urgent concern or publicly urged changes to Jang Dong-hyeok\u2019s leadership,\u201d the paper wrote, condemning senior members for their lack of accountability.<\/p>\n<p>Recalling 2004, the Dong-A noted that when the Grand National Party faced an existential crisis over the cash-for-votes scandal, it set up a tent office in Yeouido and 28 senior lawmakers pledged not to run in the next election. The paper argued that today\u2019s leadership refuses to break ties with unconstitutional martial-law elements, appears influenced by a few extreme far-right YouTubers, and that senior lawmakers seem to watch as if it were someone else\u2019s problem.<\/p>\n<p>The Korea Gallup party-support survey, conducted March 31\u2013April 2 with 1,001 voters aged 18 and over nationwide (sampling error \u00b13.1 percentage points at the 95% confidence level; mobile-phone virtual-number interviews), found People Power support at 18%. For further details, consult the National Election Survey Deliberation Commission website.<\/p>\n<div id=\"tem-type-11\">\n<p><strong>Progressive outlets urge People Power to join constitutional amendment effort<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>After six parties, excluding the People Power Party, jointly submitted a constitutional amendment, progressive media strongly urged the party to cooperate.<\/p>\n<p>The Hankyoreh, in \u201cA constitutional amendment to strengthen martial-law controls has been proposed; the People Power Party should cooperate,\u201d wrote, \u201cIt\u2019s hard to accept the People Power Party\u2019s lone dismissal of the amendment as a \u2018local-election stunt.\u2019 The proposal contains measures the party has previously supported, and the party has issued official apologies regarding the Dec. 3 martial-law episode. If those apologies and reflections were sincere rather than performative, there is no reason to oppose the amendment.\u201d The paper warned that if opposition stemmed from a belief that higher turnout on the amendment would benefit the ruling party in local elections, then subordinating an urgent national issue to narrow electoral calculation would be a petty and destructive choice.<\/p>\n<p>The Kyunghyang Shinmun, in \u201cOne year after Yoon Suk Yeol\u2019s removal \u2014 institutional reform should be sealed by holding the constitutional vote alongside local elections,\u201d argued that the so-called \u201cRevolution of Light\u201d should culminate in constitutional change that institutionalizes safeguards against insurrection. It called the party\u2019s stance self-contradictory and said joining the amendment process would offer a symbolic opportunity to demonstrate a commitment to break with pro-insurrection forces. If the party truly does not want to remain aligned with those elements, there is no practical reason to reject the amendment.<\/p>\n<div id=\"tem-type-11\">\n<p><strong>Parliamentary probe into prosecution\u2019s investigation \u2014 how did the media assess it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>When Prosecutor Park Sang-yong refused the witness oath and left the parliamentary probe, the inquiry made little progress in clarifying allegations surrounding the Ssangbangwool North Korea remittance case. The Hankyoreh and the Hankook Ilbo covered the same events but placed criticism on different targets.<\/p>\n<p>The Hankyoreh, in \u201c\u2018He calls the allegation patchwork\u2019 \u2014 yet refused the parliamentary oath: strong criticism of Prosecutor Park Sang-yong,\u201d sharply criticized Park. \u201cAfter allegations surfaced that former Gyeonggi Vice Governor Lee Hwa-young tried to induce testimony, Park repeatedly appeared on broadcasts and YouTube to vigorously deny the claims. He accused the Democratic Party of stitching together parts of recordings to distort the facts. If that\u2019s true, he could have testified at the parliamentary probe to set the record straight; it\u2019s hard to understand why he refused the oath,\u201d the paper wrote, asking whether his refusal reflected concern about penalties for perjury before the National Assembly.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr\/image\/2026\/04\/CP-2023-0179\/image-934cc359-8587-4fdc-988b-679ba636901a.jpeg\" alt=\"&nbsp;   \u25b2 Park Sang-yong, deputy chief prosecutor at the Incheon District Prosecutors\\' Office who investigated the Ssangbangwool North Korea remittance case, refused to take the witness oath on the 3rd at the National Assembly\u2019s special parliamentary probe into allegations of politically motivated, fabricated indictments by the Yoon Suk Yeol administration.

Still, the paper argued, his speech echoed long-standing justifications for war and assertions of unilateral victory, reading like a preview of a potential Trump-style, self-declared end to hostilities.<\/p>\n<p>The Kukmin Ilbo, in \u201cMeaningful Korea\u2013France cooperation on the Strait of Hormuz,\u201d praised the summit between President Lee Jae-myung and French President Emmanuel Macron. \u201cPresident Donald Trump has dismissed calls to block the Strait of Hormuz, saying that countries that take the oil should protect it themselves. But instability in Hormuz threatens global energy security, and when the parties to a conflict shirk responsibility, allies bear the greatest cost. The two leaders\u2019 cooperation to secure the strait was therefore both inevitable and timely,\u201d the paper concluded.<\/p>\n<p>The Chosun Ilbo, in \u201cNo ambulance ping-pong in Honam for a month \u2014 expand the program,\u201d highlighted a pilot program for tailored emergency transport in Gwangju and North and South Jeolla provinces. \u201cInstead of EMTs phoning around until an ER accepts a patient, ER physicians now coordinate first via real-time chat; if needed, a regional control center intervenes. The system also ensures that, once immediate treatment is complete, patients are transferred to higher-level hospitals that can provide more advanced care, with 119 (emergency services) handing patients off to the final treating hospital,\u201d the paper wrote, crediting modest institutional changes and proactive medical staff for the results.<\/p>\n<div id=\"tem-type-8\">\n<p>MediaToday brings you the \u201cAI News Briefing.\u201d Knowledge-content startup Underscore used generative AI to compare major domestic news articles by issue and then reorganize them.
