The Democratic Party's presidential primary, which turned the turning point, was converted into a one-to-one composition between Lee Jae-myung and Park Yong-jin.

Although he passed the preliminary election with the voice of change and innovation, he said that it was not enough to create a bigger change.
Rep. Kang did not declare support for either candidate Lee Jae-myung or Park Yong-jin, and drew a line in the 'anti-Lee Jae-myung solidarity'.

Candidate Lee, who is overwhelmingly in first place with 73.28% of the total votes, said, "I look forward to working together in creating a unified Democratic Party." I didn't," he said, "starting from now."
