Regarding the outlook that "it may not be easy to surpass the voter turnout of the previous party convention," Han said, "I hope many people will vote to show how much the People Power Party desires to change toward the future," and added, "There is still one day left, so please cast your votes."
When asked about the comment by floor leader Chu Kyungho that "regardless of who becomes the party leader, parliamentary matters will be led by the floor leader," Han responded, "The party is united with the goal of making the government successful and regaining power. I will seek wisdom for that goal."

Regarding criticisms from other candidates such as "If an outsider becomes party leader, they will not be able to properly confront Lee Jaemyung of the Democratic Party," and "If a special prosecutor is appointed for Private Chae's case, there will be no way for Han to avoid a special investigation," Han said, "Even if the opponents continue with negative campaigning and personal attacks, I will move forward to the future together with the people and party members."
Earlier, during his meeting with Governor Park, Han discussed the need for government support for the tourism industry, directions for industrial development in South Gyeongsang Province, and reducing tolls on the Changwon-Geoga Bridge.
