The conflict between Democratic Party leader Kim Min-seok and former leader Jeong Cheong-rae continues, raising concerns about internal divisions within the party. In the Supreme Council, Supreme Council member Han Min-soo emphasized the need for unity within the democratic reform camp and the expansion of the party's influence in order to achieve victory in the general and presidential elections. He also urged caution against arrogance and unilateralism. Kim argued for expanding the moderate conservative base at the party convention, citing the support he received from party members as justification. However, this was interpreted as criticism of Jeong, the former leader. Supreme Council members expressed disapproval of Kim's tone and emphasized the importance of party unity.
