That afternoon, the Everyone's Country Committee held a launch meeting at the Yongsan Building in Yeouido, Seoul. The meeting was attended by Kim Min-seok, the co-chairperson, Yoon Ho-joong, the chief campaign manager, Park Kwang-on, the senior advisor, and Jeon Hae-cheol, the senior advisor.

The chairperson of the Everyone's Country Committee is Koh Young-in, a former vice minister of economy. Koh has previously overseen the campaign of Kim Dong-yeon, the Gyeonggi Province governor, during the Democratic Party of Korea primary.

Koh noted, "We must overcome the extreme polarization of politics, economic inequality, and conflicts and divisions caused by social polarization," adding that "the true Republic of Korea that candidate Lee Jae-myung advocates can be realized as everyone’s country."

Kim Min-seok said, "Unlike the People Power Party, the Democratic Party of Korea's smooth sailing is thanks to the beautiful primary," and Yoon Ho-joong stated, "I am glad that this election will be held in a more unified manner."

The committee will begin activities with 10 subcommittees and 4 main bodies under its jurisdiction.

Committee activities will focus on policy campaigns, collaboration with the National Campaign Headquarters' Public Participation Section, and regional tour activities. Additionally, there are plans to ensure that Governor Kim's policy pledges carry over into candidate Lee's pledges through policy campaigns.

The committee announced that it will lay the foundation for coalition politics by meeting voters broadly through campaigns with the Public Participation Section. Starting from the 15th, it plans to visit 7 cities, including Gwangju, Jeonju, Busan, Daegu, Suwon, Chuncheon, and Cheongju, to hold regional resolution rallies.
