This move by Acting Leader Kim is both an expression of interest in Honam and a strategic step to break away from the 'Yeongnam Party' frame. Previously, former emergency committee chairman Kim Jong-in kneeled in apology in front of the May 18 Memorial Tower. Also, since Kim is from Ulsan, visiting Honam first can relatively soften his Yeongnam image. During the floor leader election process, Kim had stated, "I will place Honam-origin personnel at the forefront and form a talent pool."
