On the 25th at 11 a.m., Na will hold a press conference at the People Power Party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, to announce her decision not to run. During the Lunar New Year holiday, she reportedly met with political veterans, including former party chairman Lee Hoi-chang, who introduced her to politics, to hear various opinions.

On the afternoon of the previous day, Na told reporters in front of her home in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, regarding her candidacy, "I have made up my mind and will announce it tomorrow."

If Na publicly declares her withdrawal from the race, it is expected to have a considerable impact on the People Power Party's leadership contest.
