Wreaths bearing the names of presidential candidates such as Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province; Choi Moon-soon, Governor of Gangwon Province; Yang Seung-jo, Governor of Chungnam Province; and Kim Doo-kwan, a member of the National Assembly, also arrived. Park Young-sun, former Minister of SMEs and Startups and a candidate in the April 7 Seoul mayoral by-election, also sent a condolence wreath.
Individuals with close ties to Kim plan to pay their respects in person. On the night of the same day, Assemblyman Jeong Cheong-rae plans to visit the funeral hall along with Supreme Council member Kim Yong-min and journalist Joo Jin-woo. Assemblyman Kim Nam-guk is scheduled to pay respects on the 14th.
