[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jonghyo] Park Museong, a preliminary candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, officially announced his candidacy for the Busan Geumjeong-gu general election on the 24th at his election office.


Park had planned to hold a press conference at the Busan City Council briefing room that day, but changed the plan due to the spread of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the Busan area.


Former president of the International Newspaper, Park stated, "I will do my best to present a new vision for the stagnant Geumjeong area by utilizing my 30 years of experience as a journalist," expressing his aspirations for the general election.


Park said, "Drawing on my experience of covering various sites in Geumjeong-gu during my journalist days, I have thrown my hat in the ring to present a vision for the residents of Geumjeong-gu," and added, "I will propose alternatives to the problems in domestic politics and the National Assembly, and create systems and laws for the people."



He also appealed for support, saying, "Although Geumjeong-gu has the best infrastructure such as good natural environment, high cultural standards, and potential industrial redevelopment bases, it has become stagnant," and "To solve the problems of Geumjeong-gu, the chain of local power inheritance that has lasted over 30 years must be broken. Through replacing the vested interests in Geumjeong-gu, I will restore the pride of the residents of Geumjeong-gu."
