[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Moon Seok-gyun, the standing vice chairman of the Democratic Party representing Uijeongbu Gap in Gyeonggi Province and son of National Assembly Speaker Moon Hee-sang, has withdrawn his candidacy. Amid controversies over 'hereditary nominations' and unfairness, the Democratic Party has effectively indicated that nomination would be difficult.
On the 23rd, Vice Chairman Moon stated in a press release, "Today, with a spirit of putting the party before myself, I have decided to let go of my intentions without regret," adding, "Although I feel some regret, I believe this is a fate I must bear. I will not lose courage. I will strive forward with the mindset that from now on is a new beginning."
