The phrase "think only of the country" was frequently used by former leader Han and is interpreted as a sign of reconciliation with him.
Earlier, after the impeachment motion against President Yoon Seok-yeol was passed, former leader Han faced strong pressure to resign both inside and outside the party. Although Han emphasized that he would continue to serve as party leader at the time, the resignation intentions of Chinhan faction members Jang Dong-hyuk and Jin Jong-oh caused the Han Dong-hoon leadership to collapse. Political circles analyzed their resignations as a break from former leader Han.
A group chat called "Sijak2," centered around Chinhan faction members, was created, but since Representatives Jang Dong-hyuk and Jin Jong-oh were not included, the speculation that they had parted ways with former leader Han gained strength. Kim Jong-hyuk, a former People Power Party Supreme Council member and Chinhan faction member, also commented on their departure, saying, "Anyway, it seems they are walking a different path."
As Representative Jin shows signs of rejoining the Chinhan faction, various reactions have emerged from supporters. Comments on Jin's post included, "Are you saying you will go with former leader Han?", "Now? Suddenly? Shouldn't 'I'm sorry' come first?", and "Please be with former leader Han. I will support you."
