On the 25th, Song posted on Facebook that he was entering the election with extraordinary determination and bowed deeply over the LH speculation scandal.

Song emphasized, "The law has been passed and measures to prevent recurrence have been prepared," adding, "We will investigate even a single speculation case and ensure it faces legal judgment. This will never happen again."

He then asked people to "take a look" at Park Young-sun, the Seoul mayoral candidate, and Kim Young-choon, the Busan mayoral candidate.

Regarding Park, he praised her by saying, "During her time as a member of the National Assembly, she took the lead in chaebol reform, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises, and protecting workers," and added, "She is someone who does things properly." About Kim, he evaluated him as a "prepared Busan mayoral candidate." In particular, he introduced Kim by saying, "He could have continued as a popular Seoul lawmaker, but he challenged his hometown Busan following Roh Moo-hyun," emphasizing, "The 180-seat ruling party is moving forward with the Gadeok New Airport project thanks to Kim Young-choon's persistence."

Song plans to continue campaigning in Busan this weekend, starting from Seoul on this day.

Song said, "If we trust the citizens and work hard on the ground, they will surely recognize us," adding, "Sincerity communicates."
