Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the first broadcast of Mintee07 that he wants the channel to be the party's 'keynote broadcast' to clearly state the party's stance and be the first to announce new news, because many outside interpretations can be confusing. [^3]

Cho Kuk, head of the Innovation Party's Innovation Policy Research Institute, said on Facebook on 2026-07-01 that pushing for the cancellation of the indictment against President Lee Jae-myung would lead to political and legal ruin, and that to cancel the indictment on grounds of 'manipulated indictment', the manipulation must be confirmed.

Kim Min-seok said on 2026-07-01 on the party's official YouTube channel 'MinjooTV' in the program 'Minti07' that the party had opened a channel to the Innovation Party and proposed starting dialogue. [^6]

Kim Min-seok warned on 2026-07-01 that remarks hindering the alliance should be careful. [^7]

Kim Min-seok said on the broadcast that he canceled dinner appointments with Prime Minister Han Sung-suk and presidential chief of staff Kang Hoon-sik to visit the bereaved family of Supreme Court Chief Justice Jo Hee-dae after Jo's father passed away, and that he made no political remarks during the visit due to the mourning.
