On the 10th, Jeon said through the internet media he founded, 'Jeon Han-gil News,' "I visited the residence yesterday," adding, "It was a meeting where former President Yoon called me to express his gratitude and comfort ahead of his move."

He shared his thoughts on the meeting with former President Yoon, saying, "The moment I entered the residence and shook hands with the President, a flood of complex feelings came over me?'the regret for not being able to protect him,' and 'how great it would have been if the Constitutional Court had dismissed the ruling so the President could have returned to office.' For a moment, I almost burst into tears, but the President greeted me with an unwavering, firm expression. I clenched my teeth and swallowed my tears."

Jeon said, "Former President Yoon consistently said, 'I don't care if I go to prison or die, but what about our people? What about the younger generation?' His concern was always for the people and the country."

In particular, Jeon revealed that former President Yoon expressed gratitude toward his supporters who stood in the streets shouting 'No to impeachment.'

He said, "(Former President Yoon) said, 'Last winter, for over three months, tens of millions of 20s and 30s youth and citizens stood on the cold asphalt in Gwanghwamun, Yeouido, and various places nationwide, shouting 'No to impeachment' and 'Protect liberal democracy.' I feel so sorry for them that I can't sleep.' This deeply resonated with me, showing that his heart was entirely for the people and the nation."

Jeon promised, "In the upcoming presidential election, I will definitely win and complete the 'protection of liberal democracy' and the 'country where the rule of law, fairness, and common sense breathe' that former President Yoon sought to protect. I told him that we, the people, will unite to accomplish the reforms the President could not achieve, even if it means risking everything I have."

He also emphasized, "I want to prove through results that the sincerity we shouted was not in vain and that we have never been defeated. I, Jeon Han-gil, will risk everything and fight for this."
