[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Kim Han-gil, chairman of the New Era Preparation Committee, attended the committee's plaque ceremony held in front of the Daehwa Building in Yeouido, Seoul, on the 12th, stating, "Regime change is the spirit of the times," and "The only person who can realize regime change is candidate Yoon Seok-yeol."

On the same day, Chairman Kim said, "I would like to say that the New Era Preparation Committee will play a significant role in winning the presidential election."

Regarding the specific personnel appointments within the committee, he said, "We will finalize consultations with the candidate today and make sequential announcements starting tomorrow." He also said, "There is no need for us to overlap with what the campaign headquarters are doing," and "As the candidate mentioned earlier, the target groups may differ considerably."

In response to criticism that candidate Yoon's preparations were lacking compared to expectations for regime change, he replied, "I believe that narrowing that gap is the most urgent issue we need to address."

Regarding the question about unification with Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential candidate of the People’s Party, Chairman Kim said, "For regime change and a greater victory, all factors must be considered, but since candidate Ahn has only recently entered the race, discussing unification at this point is inappropriate for both sides."

When asked why he did not attend the official launch ceremony of the campaign headquarters, he said, "The New Era Preparation Committee is not part of the campaign headquarters, and I thought attending that event might be awkward," adding that he was busy with the committee's launch and asked not to assign any special meaning to his absence.
