On the same day, after attending the 60th anniversary ceremony of the Korea Women Journalists Association held at the Jung-gu Press Center, Lee met with reporters and, when asked if he planned to request Yoon Ho-jung, the Democratic Party floor leader, to propose the Daejang-dong special prosecution law, he said, "I have already requested it," adding, "It should be done through negotiations between the ruling and opposition parties."

Regarding the claim made the previous day by Won Hee-ryong, the Policy General Headquarters Chief of the People Power Party's election committee, that "when former Blue House Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs Kim Jin-guk tried to investigate the Daejang-dong allegations, Lee's side triggered a controversy over his son's job application," Lee responded, "That is his judgment," and said, "I do not feel it is worth special mention."

When asked whether he would issue a message concerning the death of Kim Moon-gi, the head of Development Division 1 at Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, Lee did not respond.
