Under the principle of maintaining distance from party affairs, the Presidential Office officially took a general stance on Chairman Han's inauguration press conference. In particular, the Presidential Office responded that Han’s characterization of the party-government relationship as a "mutually cooperative partnership rather than vertical or horizontal" was an "accurate remark," noting that Han is a close aide from President Yoon Seok-yeol’s prosecution circle.

Within the Presidential Office, there was a forecast that the ruling party’s stance would remain unchanged regarding the response to the "Special Prosecutor Act on Kim Geon-hee’s Stock Price Manipulation Allegations," which the media considers the first test. Chairman Han also stated at the press conference, "We fully hold the position that it is a malicious law for the general election (by the Democratic Party)," and added, "I will be fully briefed and discuss with the party and the floor on how to respond."
