An associate of former candidate Kim stated on the 8th, "On the 6th, former candidate Kim had dinner with Representative Ahn in Yeouido, and also had tea with Representative Na around the same time."
It is reported that former candidate Kim expressed his gratitude to those who served as joint election committee chairs during the presidential campaign. However, it is known that no discussions regarding the party leadership election took place at these meetings.
Former candidate Kim is also seeking meetings with other joint election committee chairs, as well as Lee Nakyon, senior advisor of the New Future Democratic Party who supported him in this presidential race, and Sohn Hakkyu, former leader of the Democratic Party.
An associate of former candidate Kim said, "He intends to express his appreciation to Senior Advisor Lee and former leader Sohn, and to exchange views on the future political landscape."
Since the 4th, former candidate Kim has been making public appearances, prompting speculation that he may be considering a bid for the next party leadership.
