On the same day, during the opening remarks at the 'Nuguna Jip' promotion local government meeting held at the National Assembly, Leader Song said, "I am pleased that Nuguna Jip, which I carefully developed since my time as mayor of Incheon, has become the official policy of the Democratic Party and was adopted as a pilot project by the Moon Jae-in administration." He recalled, "During the last presidential election, as the head of the general election campaign headquarters, I had Nuguna Jip policy adopted as a pledge by candidate Moon Jae-in. However, Kim Soo-hyun, the chief who led the pledge, was quite passive."

He added, "Despite several meetings with Chief Kim Sang-jo, he did not fully understand and I was deeply troubled, which was painful. Looking back, if Nuguna Jip had been implemented decisively in the early days of the Moon administration, it might have complemented the New Stay policy of the Park Geun-hye administration and resolved the housing price surge without difficulty, which is regrettable."

He continued, "As soon as I became party leader, I met President Moon and mentioned it again during a Blue House luncheon, and the president said, 'This issue is not something Song Young-gil just started talking about yesterday or today,' and told me to 'actively consider it.'"

Leader Song conveyed, "I hope that the project executed in the latter half of the Moon administration will be supplemented and developed, and that under the Lee Jae-myung government era, it will be strengthened to become a valuable solution to housing problems."
