In a statement released on the 29th, the Jeonnam chapter declared, "Prime Minister Han's attempt to run for president is an irrational and shameless act that holds national governance hostage, and constitutes a direct challenge to constitutional order and popular sovereignty."

The chapter further criticized, "Despite being a figure who supported the 12·3 insurrection in violation of the Constitution and the law, and a person responsible for trampling on democracy alongside former President Yoon Sukyeol, his decision to pursue the presidency out of sheer lust for power amounts to a declaration of war against democracy."

The statement continued, "There is only one thing Prime Minister Han must do now: immediately withdraw his presidential bid and make a public apology before the people," adding, "We will fight to the end against any attempt to trample on constitutional order."
