Former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo said on the 28th, "I intend to go to a nearby polling station early tomorrow (29th) with a heart of support and encouragement for the People Power Party candidate Kim Moon-soo." This emphasizes his support 17 days after retracting his candidacy for the presidential election following conflicts over unifying with Candidate Kim.

On the morning of the same day, former Prime Minister Han posted on Facebook, "I bless Candidate Kim Moon-soo's future," and added, "It has been two weeks since I withdrew from the presidential race. During that time, I have met many people who understood my decision and helped with the election, and I expressed my gratitude. Every time I met each person, I earnestly requested their support for Candidate Kim with the same spirit they showed me."

Former Prime Minister Han said, "Right now, South Korea is at a crossroads: will we stop here, or will we move forward?" and noted, "Over the past three years, our politics has been marred by extreme bulletproofing, extreme political strife, and extreme impeachment, and now there are even voices saying, 'We will change the number of judges and the qualification requirements to ensure that unfavorable rulings for our side do not come out anymore.'"

He continued, "Such a mentality is, in itself, an enemy of the rule of law," adding, "If those who wish to overturn the rule of law and shake the system gain even more power than now, economic prosperity and national unity will be difficult."
