On the morning of the 12th, at the launch ceremony of the election campaign committee held at Anguk Building in Jongno-gu, Seoul, Candidate Park specifically mentioned LH, saying, "According to the government joint investigation team's results yesterday, additional suspected cases of speculation have been confirmed. It is devastating. Still, citizens do not trust us," and emphasized, "Unjust gains made through public office must be confiscated, and the chain of speculation that has continued as a social custom from the past must be completely severed on this occasion."

To this end, she said, "I formally request a special investigation from the Democratic Party," and vowed, "We must firmly hold those responsible accountable. We must definitely cut it off. And we must innovate."

Candidate Park Young-sun then cited examples such as uncovering the truth about BBK, enforcing the separation of banking and commerce law, and the prohibition of preferential treatment for former officials, stating that she is "a person who has fought on the front lines against all kinds of old practices and vested interests for a fair society."

She also stated, "This election is to break the chain of speculation and unfairness," and emphasized, "I will pour all that I have so that the word 'speculation' will never again be heard in Seoul."
