Kim Jong-in, chairman of the Unification Party's Emergency Response Committee, addressed this concern at a meeting of first-time congressmen on the 19th.

[Kim Jong-in / Chairman of the Future Unification Party's Emergency Response Committee (Last 19th): With this thought in mind, how can I expand my appearance to make this party re-engage in the upcoming presidential election? At the

following luncheon meeting of proportional representatives, when the talk about the presidential candidate came out, Chairman Kim said, "How about CEO Baek Jong-won?"

At that time, most of the attendees were said to have accepted it as a joke that they brought out laughing.

However, a member of the Unification Party said, "The presidential candidate is important for recognition and popularity, but the aversion must be low." He said, "It comes from the worries that we need to find someone who can communicate with all age groups to gain support from the middle class."

The representative of the party, Baek, in a call with SBS, said, "I have never thought about the presidential election."

Unlike former Democratic Party leaders such as former Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon and Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong, while former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-an and former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon failed to enter the National Assembly, they have been called as latent opposition parties. .

That is why Chairman Kim's comments and words were lightly spoken, but there are also many interpretations that the thoughts of the leader of the unified party were contained.
