The Joguk Innovation Party’s start of election campaigning in Busan is interpreted as an attempt to highlight Leader Joguk’s hometown ties to consolidate support. It expressed its determination to fight for the early end of the administration by opposing the Yoon Seok-yeol government. After Busan, Leader Joguk visited Daegu, Daejeon, and Seoul in sequence on the same day to hold events with citizens aimed at ending prosecutorial dictatorship.

The Reform Innovation Party officially began its election campaign by visiting and encouraging the Yeongdeungpo Fire Station in Seoul. Yeongdeungpo Gap is the district where the party’s candidate Heo Eun-ah is running in the general election. In the afternoon, the Reform Innovation Party’s Central Election Countermeasures Committee launch ceremony was also held at Yeongdeungpo Station.

Cheon Ha-ram, head of the Reform Innovation Party’s general election campaign headquarters, said, "We visited Yeongdeungpo Fire Station as the first schedule of the election campaign to show our determination to become a Reform Innovation Party that properly takes care of the people’s lives." The Reform Innovation Party aims to have all its district candidates complete their campaigns and achieve entry into the National Assembly by hitting so-called 'come-from-behind grand slams' in various regions.

The New Future Party started its election campaign at the Garak-dong Agricultural and Marine Products Market in Songpa-gu, Seoul. The reason the party chose the market as its first schedule was to demonstrate its commitment to prioritizing the livelihood economy. The launch ceremony was later held in Daejeon. Daejeon is a key area where the New Future Party has the most district candidates running. At the launch ceremony held at the election office of candidate Park Young-soon, who is running in Daedeok-gu, Daejeon, Oh Young-hwan, head of the general election campaign committee, stated, "The New Future Party will surely realize the unfinished dream of former President Roh Moo-hyun, the relocation of the administrative capital."

The New Future Central Election Committee is holding a kickoff rally on the morning of the 28th in front of candidate Park Young-soon's election office in Daejeon.

The Green Justice Party began its election campaign at midnight with a memorial event for the victims at the Itaewon disaster site. The launch ceremony was held at Hwajeong Station Square in Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi Province, where Sim Sang-jung, the party’s floor leader and a five-term candidate, is running.

Sim Sang-jung, the Green Justice Party candidate for Goyang Gap, appealed for voters’ support at the launch ceremony held at Hwajeong Station Square on the morning of the 28th, saying, "I will stand at the responsible center to restore people’s politics and solve challenges such as low birthrate and climate crisis."

She added, "For the past 12 years, I have worked hard for the development of Goyang by commuting between Yeouido and Goyang City two or three times a day. My first resolution for this general election is to complete the projects I have promoted so far with my own hands for the balanced development of Goyang City," she emphasized.
