[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Support declarations are continuing for Jang Man-chae, a prospective candidate for the 21st general election for the Suncheon National Assembly seat (Democratic Party of Korea, Suncheon).


The "Youth Association for Suncheon Development" (Sunbalcheong, President Kim Gil-hyun) issued a statement on the 13th, announcing, "We support Democratic Party candidate Jang Man-chae."


They explained the background, saying, "While discussing Suncheon’s development, we thought about what is necessary for regional progress," and "We resolved to support prospective candidate Jang Man-chae."


Earlier, on the 11th, 51 professors from Suncheon National University declared their support for prospective candidate Jang as the next National Assembly member.


Sunbalcheong expressed concern, stating, "Currently, the Suncheon regional economy is becoming increasingly stagnant day by day, threatening the livelihoods of ordinary citizens and urban workers." They particularly noted, "Many issues regarding youth employment were discussed, and we believe that urgent measures and improvements are needed."


Furthermore, they emphasized, "Nearby areas such as Gwangyang and Yeosu have become cities attracting youth from other regions due to large corporations and industrial complexes," but "Suncheon is becoming a city from which young people are leaving due to a lack of jobs for youth."


Along with this, they pointed out, "The term 'ecological city,' which Suncheon promotes, is also showing signs of becoming a trend in Jeolla Province, where many cities are expected to face population extinction, with most regions likely to transform into ecological cities in the future," and "Even now, efforts should be focused on attracting private investment, large corporations, and investments by pooling administrative and political power."



They reiterated, "Candidate Jang Man-chae, an education expert and scientist, is the right person to nurture future talent in Suncheon," and "We actively support candidate Jang Man-chae, who can communicate with and represent our youth."
