On the same day, after the talent recruitment welcome event held at the National Assembly main building in the morning, Hwang told reporters when asked whether the nomination committee encouraged him to run in Jongno, "The nomination committee has its own role. I understand that sufficient discussions are underway," adding, "I am looking for roles I can play to help our Liberty Korea Party achieve a great victory in this general election. I will strive to fulfill any necessary role," emphasizing his determination.

When asked about the possibility of not running, he said, "The spirit of the times is to save the Republic of Korea," and added, "The spirit of the times is to judge the Moon administration by any means and to save the Republic of Korea by winning the general election. I will make a decision that does not go against this spirit," suggesting the possibility of not running.
