As the need for experienced senior lawmakers has been raised, names such as Kwon Young-se, Kim Gi-hyeon, and Na Kyung-won, all five-term lawmakers, are being mentioned.

However, all of them opposed the impeachment vote, and there are concerns regarding some members being close to the pro-Yoon faction.

Regarding the recent leaks of group chat messages and private meeting transcripts among lawmakers, the leadership has begun to crack down on actions that hinder unity.
