Despite a heavy rain advisory in the Gangwon region, Kim introduced his two sons at the campaign event, saying, "My strongest supporters have arrived: my two sons. The one on the right is the son who didn’t hand out wedding invitations at his wedding. He always has a tough time during elections because he has me as his father." His words created a warm atmosphere at the scene.

At the joint rally that day, National Assemblyman Han Kiho, Chuncheon mayoral candidate Jeong Gwangryeol, Chuncheon-gap district committee chief Kang Daegyu, and election committee chair Byun Jiryang also joined Kim in delivering speeches, demonstrating the unity of the campaign’s "one team" spirit.

During his speech, Kim declared, "The people of Gangwon Province will not elect those who rely on family connections or candidates they have never even seen. I will be a dependable governor who always stands by your side thanks to the support of the people, not personal ties." His straightforward remarks drew enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.

He also urged campaign staff to "take good care of your health during the remaining 13 days," and emphasized the one team spirit to Chuncheon mayoral and local and metropolitan council candidates, saying, "Let’s unite, win every individual race, and come together again as one team."

After the launch ceremony, Kim immediately boarded the campaign vehicle and began a comprehensive canvassing campaign, covering all 25 towns, townships, and neighborhoods in Chuncheon. Utilizing the mobility of the campaign vehicle, Kim visited every corner of Chuncheon as he kicked off his field campaign under the slogan, "Gangwon Only! Into the Heart of the People."
