Lee Cheol-hee, Senior Secretary for Political Affairs at the Blue House, was present during the meeting between President Moon and Candidate Lee. Secretary Lee is expected to inform the media about the contents of the private discussion.

It is known that before this meeting was arranged, the Blue House sought a legal interpretation from the National Election Commission. This was a strategic move to avoid controversy over political neutrality, given that it was a meeting between the president and the ruling party's presidential candidate. The Blue House has stated that no political discussions would take place.
