Ahead of the Busan Buk-gu Gap by-election, candidates from the broader opposition bloc met for the first time at an official district event.

On April 26, Donghoon Han, former leader of the People Power Party and a potential candidate for the Busan Buk-gu Gap National Assembly by-election scheduled to be held alongside the June 3 local elections, and Min-sik Park, former Minister of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, both attended the alumni association sports event held at the athletic field of Gupo Elementary School in Buk-gu, Busan.

Min-sik Park, an alumnus of Gupo Elementary School and a two-term lawmaker in the district, arrived at the event wearing a red jacket, the symbolic color of the People Power Party. He introduced himself by saying, "I am Min-sik Park from the 60th graduating class of Gupo Elementary," and added, "I will take the applause from my seniors and juniors as encouragement to uphold the pride of Buk-gu and enhance the honor of our school."

Donghoon Han, dressed in a white shirt, shook hands with attendees one by one, seeking their support. However, he was not given the opportunity to deliver a congratulatory speech. The organizers explained, "Given that this is an election period, non-alumni are restricted from using the microphone."

Meanwhile, Ha Jung-woo, Chief Presidential Secretary for AI Future Planning and another potential candidate for the Buk-gu Gap by-election, did not attend the event.
