On the 21st, the People's Power Party held a large-scale outdoor rally at Dongdaegu Station Square in Dong-gu, Daegu, and strongly criticized President Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party. The party leadership appealed for judgment of the administration, stating, "We must protect the Constitution, the rule of law, and the judiciary," and estimated the attendance at the rally that day to be over 70,000 people. This was the first large-scale outdoor rally held by the People's Power Party in approximately 5 years and 8 months, since the Gwanghwamun rally in Seoul in January 2020.

In his speech, leader Jang Dong-hyuk directly addressed Democratic Party leader Jung Chung-rae, calling him the "ringleader of an anti-constitutional political terrorism group." He vehemently criticized Jung, stating, "Jung Chung-rae claims to be Lee Jae-myung and Kim Eo-jun's lackey with a sinister expression." He raised his voice, saying, "The Republic of Korea has now become a country for one person, Lee Jae-myung. Lee Jae-myung is reigning above the people and above the Constitution," and declared, "Free Korea is heading towards people's dictatorship."

He also sharply criticized the judiciary, saying, "If the law bows to power, who should the people bow to?" Daegu = Hanmiilbo

Leader Jang further argued that "the country that Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party ultimately desire is China and North Korea," and criticized the ROK-US trade agreement. He then called for action, stating, "It is time for the great people to show their strength again." He emphasized, "We must prevent Lee Jae-myung's dictatorship and the Democratic Party's schemes and madness. Lee Jae-myung's five stalled trials must resume swiftly. An unjust regime cannot defeat the people."

Floor Leader Song Eon-seok characterized the treason trial court being promoted by the Democratic Party as "utterly preposterous people's tribunal." He urged, "If President Lee Jae-myung wants to lead the country normally, he must abandon his arbitrariness and cooperate with the opposition party." He called for action, saying, "Let's put a firm brake on this reckless government and return the Republic of Korea to its normal track."

Supreme Council member Kim Min-soo exclaimed, "You do not call Lee Jae-myung president. With 12 charges, five trials, and a reversed guilty verdict, wouldn't he be disqualified if the trials were resumed?" He rallied the crowd, saying, "Extremism to protect freedom is not evil. Let us willingly choose extremism to protect the Republic of Korea. Are you ready to fight?" His words were met with great enthusiasm.

Through this rally, the People's Power Party emphasized "the protection of the Constitution and the rule of law," highlighting the need to check the administration. The party leadership indicated the possibility of continuing nationwide outdoor protests in the future.
