[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Yoo Seung-min, chairman of the Conservative Reconstruction Committee of the New Conservative Party, hinted at an 'electoral alliance' and voiced opinions that diverge from the flow of the conservative unified new party. Meanwhile, it has been decided that he will not attend the first public report by the Innovation Integration Promotion Committee (Hyuktongwi), which is promoting centrist-conservative integration.

Jung Woon-cheon, co-representative of the New Conservative Party, attended the 10th meeting of Hyuktongwi held at the National Assembly Members' Office Building on the 30th and stated, "The New Conservative Party and the Liberty Korea Party are conducting confidential party-to-party consultations, and once that process is completed, Chairman Yoo may be able to attend."

Earlier, Hyuktongwi had rejected the New Conservative Party's hint at an 'electoral alliance' and demanded party-level attendance at the first public report meeting scheduled for the 31st. However, Ha Tae-kyung, co-representative of the New Conservative Party, expressed a reserved stance, saying, "We are still conducting party-to-party consultations with the Korea Party." Ultimately, it was decided that figures attending as Hyuktongwi members, including Co-representatives Ha and Jung, would participate, but compared to the attendance of Chairman Yoo, who is the party's central figure, the weight is different.

Voices warning against division within the conservative camp also emerged. Lee Gap-san, standing representative of the Pan-Citizen Coalition, said, "The conservatives are currently discussing unification, but I see divisions beginning in various places," and appealed, "Please stop divisive actions and enable the conservatives to achieve a landslide victory in this general election through great unification." Meanwhile, during the Hyuktongwi meeting that day, declarations of support and participation were made by key executives of the Korean Federation of Trade Unions, the Pan-Citizen Social Organizations Coalition (253 groups), and the Pan-Conservative Coalition (95 groups), among others.
