In the interview with Yonhap News TV on the same day, Chairman In said, "We need to meet once, twice, three times to resolve this." Regarding the speculation about Lee Jun-seok forming a new party, he said, "That is outside of our work," but added, "It probably wouldn't be good for the parties involved or for us."

When asked whether the Innovation Committee plans to handle the nomination regulations, Chairman In responded, "It would be an overreach for the Innovation Committee to handle the nomination rules one by one," and stated, "However, laying the foundation and groundwork that leads to nominations is definitely something we must accomplish."

Regarding his remark that stars from Yeongnam should come to difficult constituencies in Seoul, Chairman In said, "I have never specified anyone, nor will I," adding, "It is something the party and the election committee should decide, and it would be an overreach for the Innovation Committee to do so."

On the speculation about his candidacy for Seodaemun-gap in next year's general election, Chairman In said, "There is nothing preventing me from running, but it is not important at all," and added, "Whether I run or not is not important; we should be concerned about the future. If the country calls for it, I must answer."
