On the morning of May 15, candidate Kim held a meeting at the Gangwon Provincial Government Office, inviting his former teachers from elementary, middle, and high school, as well as principals from Seongsu High School and other education officials. About 20 people attended the event, including Han Jang-soo, former Superintendent of Education and Kim's elementary school teacher; Cho Cheol-geun, his middle school teacher; and members of the Seongsu High School principals' association.

In particular, this event went beyond a simple commemorative gathering and gained political significance by leading to an endorsement declaration titled "Teachers who directly taught Kim Jin-tae vouch for him." A total of 83 individuals, including his former teachers from elementary, middle, and high school and principals from Chuncheon City, participated in the declaration, which conveyed messages of trust and support for candidate Kim.

The event began with Kim personally pinning carnations on his former teachers to express his gratitude. This was followed by the reading of a letter from Cho Cheol-geun, and then messages of encouragement from senior education officials in attendance.

Han Jang-soo, former Superintendent of Education, said, "I trust candidate Kim as someone who possesses wisdom, virtue, and courage," adding, "He is the right person to lead Gangwon's development, as he has consistently followed his own path without wavering, even during difficult times in the past." Other attendees also expressed their support, saying, "As someone who has watched him closely as a student, I am well aware of his sincerity, responsibility, and dedication."
