People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyeok is facing growing backlash after a weeklong U.S. trip ahead of the June 3 local elections, with critics questioning both its timing and outcome. The visit, extended to five days and seven nights after an early departure on April 11, drew complaints from candidates awaiting nominations. Some party figures asked, “What did he go there for?” while others mocked the trip as yielding little beyond photo opportunities. Even senior members warned that without clear results, the visit would be difficult to justify. [PARK YONG-SEOK]
