On the 10th, Shin announced his official endorsement via his Facebook page, saying, "On the day of my third election as a National Assembly member, I am making a new resolution for candidate Lee Jaemyung." He emphasized, "While the Republic of Korea is now heading toward the serious crisis of regional extinction, the capital-centric structure is becoming even more entrenched," adding, "What we need now is a true leader who can fight for the regions and the vulnerable."

Regarding Lee Jaemyung, Shin stated, "He is someone who has proven himself through experience, weathering the harsh winds of vested interests as he led Seongnam and Gyeonggi Province," and evaluated him as "a politician who finds solutions on the ground, not through desk-bound administration." He added, "He is a leader who understands the issues facing the regions more deeply than anyone and has the alternatives to solve them."

Referring to Lee Jaemyung's tenure as party leader, Shin said, "He held the party together through crisis, standing firm without wavering," and added, "His strong drive and crisis management skills protected the Democratic Party and proved what politics that truly changes people's lives looks like."

Shin stressed, "For the first time in the history of the Republic of Korea, a president should come from the field, from among local government heads," adding, "The country can only thrive if the regions thrive. We desperately need politics that puts the potential of the regions at the center of the nation."

He appealed for support, saying, "From the heart of Honam, which has always devoted itself whenever democracy was in crisis, I will do my utmost to ensure an overwhelming victory for candidate Lee Jaemyung," and urged, "Please join us."
