He said, "I was deeply disappointed by the nomination result and even considered quitting politics, but I thought it was time to unite our strength for a greater Gimhae and a greater Republic of Korea rather than just my own thoughts."


"Candidate Cho is a three-term lawmaker of the ruling party and a senior representative of Gyeongnam who can even challenge for the People Power Party floor leader in the future. I am confident that he can lead the victory in the general election," he said, adding, "I will put everything aside and devote all my efforts to winning the general election with the spirit of serving in white armor."


Kim decided to serve as the General Election Headquarters Chief of Staff at Cho Hae-jin’s campaign office.


Right after Kim’s press conference, candidate Cho, who visited the venue, expressed his determination to achieve victory in the general election as a team with Kim.



Cho emphasized, "Kim has agreed to take charge of the General Election Headquarters and lead the campaign office. Depending on the operation of the headquarters, I will focus on meeting citizens as a candidate, listening to their voices, and gathering public sentiment and votes."
