After meeting with Yeom Dong-ryeol, secretary general of the Korea Party, and others at the National Assembly Members' Office Building on the same day, Won told reporters, "I have carefully read the statement from the United Future Party's elected members. I respect their position."

Regarding the United Future Party's secretariat staff declaring a complete refusal to perform party duties until the merger, he said, "I fully understand their loyalty. Everyone said it for the sake of the well-being of the brother parties, the United Future Party and the Korea Party," and emphasized, "I will also do my best."

In response to Secretary General Yeom's earlier comment that "a merger within May is physically difficult," Won said, "It was meant to indicate that unexpected variables could arise," adding, "Since unexpected situations may occur during the process of pushing for the merger by the 29th, we intended to amend the party constitution to fill the leadership vacuum at least until then."
