[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the Liberty Korea Party, who has declared his candidacy in Jongno, Seoul, is establishing a base in Hyehwa-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and is starting full-scale election campaigning.

On the morning of the 13th, after the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly, Hwang told reporters, "I have rented a house in Hyehwa-dong," revealing this plan.

Regarding his choice of Hyehwa-dong as his new residence, he explained, "It is central, and it shows my determination to enter an area where the party has not been very active so far."

As Hwang moves his residence to Jongno, he plans to dispose of his current apartment in Jamwon-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul.

Following his registration as a preliminary candidate the day before, Hwang has entered full election mode by securing a residence. From the 9th for three days, he visited the Youth Street, Jeongdok Library, Sungkyunkwan Yurim Hall, and the former residence of President Syngman Rhee.

At the parliamentary meeting that day, Hwang said, "Although I will realistically be spending a lot of time in Jongno, please feel free to contact me whenever communication is needed," adding, "The fight in Jongno is not just a district battle but extends beyond Jongno to all of Seoul, the metropolitan area, and I intend to pay attention to my actions and messages so that this atmosphere can spread beyond Chungcheong Province to the entire country."
