[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo welcomed Representative Hwang Kyo-ahn's declaration to run in Jongno on the 7th, saying, "I welcome it" and "Although late, I appreciate the agonizing decision."

On the same day, former Representative Hong said through Facebook, "The fact that the party leader is running in Jongno to lead the election will greatly help create a boom for our party in the metropolitan area," and added, "I am confident that we will definitely win."

Having declared his candidacy for Gyeongnam Miryang-Uiryeong-Haman-Changnyeong, former Representative Hong said to Representative Hwang, "I heard that the leader is avoiding running in Jongno and looking for a favorable district," and "I believe the party's nomination management committee will have no choice but to respect Representative Hwang's intention and decide accordingly. If the nomination committee respects the party member's intention, it would be fair to accept my intention to run in my hometown as well."
