On the 6th, Seong Il-jong, a member of the People Power Party's Emergency Committee, appeared on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' and said, "(Chairman Kim) will probably hold a press conference on the 8th, greet at the party meeting, and leave as a victorious general as originally stated." Seong said that Chairman Kim's resignation on the 8th was "the originally stated plan."

Seong, who has worked with Chairman Kim in the Emergency Committee, assessed the possibility of Kim's return to politics as high.

When asked by the host, "Is there a possibility of a comeback considering the presidential election?" he answered, "Of course." He added, "Chairman Kim has experience participating in national governance and has acquired a lot of knowledge while working as a professor. He possesses remarkable insight derived from this. If there is a way for these various political capabilities and experiences to be used for the country, I think it is a good method to respectfully request him in various forms."

Seong did not speculate on the possibility of Chairman Kim becoming a presidential candidate himself or taking the position of campaign committee chairman for someone else. However, he stated, "Politics is unpredictable, so if his experience, knowledge, and insight are needed in any form, I think we should invite him."
