[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 7th, the Bareunmirae Party stated regarding Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the Liberty Korea Party, declaring his candidacy for Jongno, "Leader Hwang should not go to Jongno but rather go home with peace of mind."

Kang Shin-up, spokesperson for the Bareunmirae Party, said in a commentary that day, "Leader Hwang described his Jongno candidacy as a 'judgment on the Moon Jae-in administration,'" adding, "It is absurd for old corrupt forces to judge new corrupt forces. Our party will be the one to judge the Moon Jae-in administration."

Spokesperson Kang pointed out, "Until today's announcement, Leader Hwang showed signs of avoiding candidacy in Jongno by calculating political pros and cons," and criticized, "Leader Hwang's Jongno candidacy is ultimately a coerced decision due to pressure from the nomination committee and boiling internal party criticism."

Spokesperson Kang further criticized, "How can Leader Hwang, who cannot decide his own political fate, judge the Moon Jae-in administration?" and said, "The justification Leader Hwang presents for running in Jongno is at best a deception to hide the intention of restoring vested political interests."

On the same day, Leader Hwang held an emergency press conference at the party headquarters and declared, "I announce my candidacy for the Jongno district," adding, "I will definitely make Jongno the number one place for regime judgment."

Leader Hwang said, "I will start the public's demand to judge the Moon Jae-in administration in Jongno and spread it to Seoul, the metropolitan area, and nationwide," and added, "The only fear is watching the Moon Jae-in administration destroy the Republic of Korea."
