Lee's "Open Camp" announced the campaign appointments on the 15th. Woo declared his support the day before, saying, "I will join candidate Lee Jae-myung to overcome the era of inequality, imbalance, and polarization," and Lee said, "I feel reassured as if I have gained a great army."

The Open Camp appointed lawmakers Kim Byung-gi, Kim Yoon-duk, Kim Byung-wook, and former Gyeonggi Province spokesperson Kim Yong as deputy chiefs to assist General Director Cho Jung-sik. Joint spokespersons include lawmaker Jeon Yong-gi, former Gyeonggi Province press secretary Kim Nam-jun, and former Democratic Party international spokesperson Choi Ji-eun. Kwon In-sook was appointed joint situation room chief, and Lee Soo-jin (Seoul Dongjak-eul) was named head of the legal advisory group.
