[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Kim Seongchan, the Democratic Party preliminary candidate for the Hampyeong County Mayor by-election, announced on the 21st a pledge to establish a 'Sports Marketing Division,' stating, "I will invigorate the local economy with innovative sports marketing and lay the foundation for development."

Candidate Kim said, "Hampyeong has the geographical advantage of being the largest strategic point in Jeonnam, with the Seohaean Expressway and four national highways passing through, and proximity to major cities such as Gwangju and Mokpo," adding, "We will highlight the clean image of an ecological city and fill the lacking infrastructure to develop into a mecca of the sports industry."
