During the 11th high-level party-government consultative meeting held at the Prime Minister's official residence in Seoul on this day, Kim spoke on Representative Yong Hyein's resignation from the Gender Equality and Family Minister candidacy earlier in the morning, saying, "We will proceed thoroughly with the confirmation hearing."

Regarding independent lawmaker Han Donghoon, who has been leading the allegations concerning Justice Minister nominee Kim Seungwon, Kim emphasized, "We will thoroughly investigate the illegal information leak scandal, which is escalating into the 'Han Donghoon Gate,' and put an end to politically motivated prosecutions."

Kim further stated, "The task of recovery and growth in the first year of the term has yielded achievements in growth rate, exports, and the stock market, thanks to the President's leadership and the cooperation of the people," adding, "Now, we must devote our full efforts to driving mega-growth, resolving the shadows of growth, and promoting a dignified basic society."

He went on to add, "The party will expand the Mega 10 special committee to Mega 12 and launch the 'Dignity AI Civil Affairs Team.' The party leader will serve as chair, and former National Assembly Speaker Woo Wonshik will be appointed as senior advisor."

Regarding the launch of the new Public Prosecution Service in October, Kim said, "We will ensure there is no rollback of genuine prosecution reform and no gap in public safety and civil order by meticulously overseeing the establishment of the Public Prosecution Service and police reform, devising all necessary alternatives."

Kim added, "We will promote internal party discussions on comprehensive reforms to eradicate irregularities in politics, economy, and society that obstruct the normalization of the Republic of Korea. After organizing the discussions soon, we will engage in consultations with the government and report the outcomes to the public."
