Representative Chung Cheong-rae's resignation is in fact no different from the official launch ceremony for the next term as the party leader. At an official meeting of the Supreme Council, he mentioned a 'sleepless night' and emphasized that the decision was made after much agony, but the prevailing interpretation in the political world is that it is a predetermined process. He, who took the helm of the party through a by-election after the early presidential election last year, made clear his intention to minimize the gap and immediately transition to an election phase through this resignation. In particular, this national convention is a guaranteed term for the next two years, and is the core of the power to exercise strong nomination rights ahead of the huge political event of the 2028 general election. Therefore, his challenge for the position of representative again this time is interpreted as a strong message that he will carry out his political life and the party's reform line to the end, beyond the simple desire for a second term.

This national convention is expected to unfold in an interesting structure, with a head-on collision between the ‘pro-Cheong (pro-government Cheongnae) faction’ and the ‘non-party faction, pro-Myung (pro-Lee Jae-myung) faction’. Currently, Prime Minister Kim Min-seok and former leader Song Young-gil are mentioned as opponents to Representative Chung, and it is highly likely that they will build a solidarity front to prevent Representative Chung from leading alone. The combination of Prime Minister Kim and former Representative Song means the gathering of non-mainstream forces, and this will go beyond a simple fight for party leadership and become a huge power struggle to determine who has the leadership within the Democratic Party. Representative Chung is emphasizing his clarity by emphasizing that he and President Lee Jae-myung are a 'community of political destiny', but a fierce battle of numbers is taking place as some in the party have a check-and-check mentality. This solidarity and confrontation between candidates who are about to challenge the party leadership will have a decisive impact on the Democratic Party's future policy direction and route decisions.

Through his resignation, Representative Chung defined his political identity as a member of the Democratic Party, which includes former Presidents Kim Dae-jung, Roh Moo-hyun, and Moon Jae-in. He declared himself to be the 'Roh Moo-hyun Kids' and expressed his will to destroy regionalism and inherit the values ​​of reform. In particular, he showed infinite loyalty to President Lee Jae-myung and set out 'the success of the Lee Jae-myung administration' as his political goal. These remarks appear to be a strategic move to impress upon party members his ‘clearness’ and rally support for President Lee Jae-myung. He also declared that he would not stop the Democratic Party's core tasks of prosecution, media, and judicial reform, and revealed his combative side without filtering that he would fight to the end against resistance to reform.

After Representative Chung's resignation, the party is scheduled to be run under a transitional system until the next national convention, with floor leader Han Byeong-do taking over as acting leader. The reason why floor leader Han Byeong-do's shoulders are heavy is because as competition for party leadership becomes more intense, concerns about division within the party increase. Representative Chung was ready to shake things up by emphasizing unity and solidarity within the party and even mentioning institutional changes such as the introduction of a runoff voting system. However, there are voices of concern within the party that such a strong drive by Representative Chung may actually create a gap between 'party sentiment' and 'public sentiment'. At this national convention, where the powerful power of nomination rights for the 2028 general election is at stake, the biggest point to watch is whether Representative Chung will be able to once again attract overwhelming support from party members and succeed in his 'political destiny community' strategy.
