On the same day, Leader Yeo wrote on her Facebook, "Professor Jin has publicly announced his intention to join the Justice Party."

Leader Yeo recalled, "I have apologized to many party members who left due to the party's fault and have appealed for them to rejoin the party. Even if 99 values differ, if one value is the same, we come together; even if 99 values are the same, if one value differs, some leave."

She emphasized, "The Justice Party must clearly uphold its progressive party identity and broaden its embrace." This is interpreted as an active welcome of former Professor Jin’s intention to rejoin.

Earlier, in January 2020, former professor Jin submitted his resignation, criticizing the Justice Party’s clumsy criticism and attitude during the Cho Kuk former Minister of Justice incident. However, in the early hours of this day, he wrote on Facebook, "I am going to Sim Sang-jung," and "I am rejoining the Justice Party." This marks his return after two years of leaving. He added, "I will look for ways to support young politicians behind the scenes for the reorganization of progressivism."
