Cho said, "I mentioned our goal was '10 seats plus alpha (α),' and we achieved that goal. Of course, there is some regret, but the path ahead is long, and I believe we have made a good first step."

He explained, "'Three years is too long' is a slogan I first created and used 50 days ago. Now, our task is to fulfill our promises through legislative and policy actions, and in the process, to ensure the public feels the effectiveness of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party."

Cho also stated, "The people have made the Democratic Party the largest party in the National Assembly and have entrusted it with the heavy responsibility of holding the single largest number of seats. As such, we will keep our promise to serve as a humble and loyal instrument of the people."
