Director Kim Seong-yong (62) is known as a private expert with over 40 years of experience in the disaster prevention field. The party introduced him as "someone who responded faster than anyone else to major domestic and international disasters such as the Sampoong Department Store collapse and the Indonesian tsunami, playing a crucial role," and "the first to introduce and operate an advanced disaster management system in Korea."

Meanwhile, co-representative Lee Nak-yeon announced that one member of the Democratic Party, ranked in the bottom 10% in the evaluation of incumbent lawmakers, will leave the party and join Saeroun Mirae.

On SBS Radio, Representative Lee said regarding the lawmakers joining Saeroun Mirae amid the Democratic Party nomination turmoil, "I think there will be one more person today."
