Spokesperson Hwang Jeong-a of the Democratic Party emphasized during a written briefing that, "The transfer of presidential records began after the impeachment of Yoon Suk-yeol," adding, "The principle is that presidential records should be made public. Records related to the 12.3 rebellion, which trampled on constitutional order and aimed guns at the public, should be disclosed to the public as they are."

At the same time, they demanded of Acting President Han Duck-soo, "Measures should be taken to ensure that the records are disclosed promptly without any damage, omissions, deletions, or manipulation."

Meanwhile, earlier, the Presidential Records Center established a "Transfer Promotion Team" led by Director General Lee Dong-hyeok on the 4th, following former President Yoon's impeachment, and began practical discussions to transfer records with the institutions that produced the presidential records. The Ministry of the Interior and Safety's Presidential Records Center plans to visit sequentially 28 institutions that produce presidential records, including the Office of the President and the National Security Office, starting as early as the 7th to assess the status of the records to be transferred.
