After the Constitutional Court's dismissal decision that day, around 2:43 p.m., Minister Park stated to reporters he encountered while arriving at the Government Complex Gwacheon, "I was away from the office for a long time, so I will grasp the duties and receive the situation reports as quickly as possible."

Earlier that day, at 2:11 p.m., the Constitutional Court dismissed the National Assembly's impeachment motion against Minister Park, with all eight judges in unanimous agreement.

When reporters asked Minister Park about his thoughts on the Constitutional Court's dismissal decision, he replied, "Personally, I don't think I committed any wrongdoing that would warrant impeachment, and I explained all of that in my last statement." He added, "I am grateful that the Constitutional Court made a wise decision by accepting that content."

In response to reporters' questions about the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk-yeol, Minister Park said, "We have no choice but to respect the Constitutional Court's decision."
