On 18 July 2016, Joo announced he would run as the party chairperson for the upcoming leadership election.[6] He lost to Lee Jung-hyun.[7]
Following the political scandal, Joo left the Saenuri Party along with other dissidents.[8] He was elected the parliamentary leader of the newly formed Bareun Party but in November 2017, he announced his departure in order to join the Liberty Korea Party (LKP) along with other 8 MPs.[9] He, however, remained till his term as a parliamentary leader ended.[10]

On 4 May 2020, Joo launched his bid for the UFP's parliamentary leader.[14] 4 days later, he was elected the parliamentary leader of the UFP, as well as the party's interim President where the position has been vacant since 15 April.[15][16]
On 15 June, Joo announced his resignation as the UFP parliamentary leader following the Democratic Party's decision to take 6 parliamentary committees without dividing with opposition parties.[17][18] He harshly criticised that the ruling Democratic Party is going to the one-party dictatorship.[17] However, sources reported that almost all UFP MPs oppose his resignation.[18]
Following the party's landslide victory in the 2021 by-elections, Joo returned as the party President.[19] He has announced his intention to resign as the parliamentary leader on 16 April, adding that he would not serve until his term finishes on 29 May, but until the new person is elected.[20][21]
