Kim was the first within the party to declare his candidacy for party leadership and has now opened an official campaign office to engage in an aggressive election campaign. Although Representative Yoon Sang-hyun held a party leadership launch event at the birthplace of former President Park Chung-hee in Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, Kim is the first to establish a campaign office.

With Representative Kwon Seong-dong, considered a key figure in the 'pro-Yoon' faction, announcing his withdrawal from the party leader election the day before, there has been speculation that President Yoon Seok-yeol's intention, known as Yoonshim (尹心), might be leaning toward Kim. Kim also gave a lecture titled 'Leaders Who Have Won Know How to Win' at the New Year meeting of the party association held at the Songpa District Community Center, the constituency of Representative Bae Hyun-jin, the previous day.

On the same day at 2 p.m., after finishing the plenary session, Kim plans to return to his constituency in Ulsan to attend to personal schedules. He also plans to travel nationwide to increase contact with party members.
