[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] On the 28th, Baek Kyunghun, a preliminary candidate of the United Future Party who declared his candidacy for Goyang Gap, Gyeonggi Province in the April 15 general election, said, "There needs to be a party to judge Sim Sangjeong, the leader of the Justice Party, who is holding onto labor vested interests and blocking the future of the next generation." Baek was the first young figure recruited by the Liberty Korea Party in October last year.

On the same day, he wrote on his Facebook under the title "The place where I, who was recruited by the party, can be most effectively used is the front line where Representative Sim Sangjeong is, Goyang Gap," asking, "By what should we judge Leader Sim?"

Baek said, "The place where I must fight is where Leader Sim, who represents vested interest labor unions, is a politician of the old left-wing era, and defends former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk," adding, "Goyang Gap needs someone who can hold and shake the board." Goyang Gap is the district where Leader Sim has completed her preliminary candidate registration and is challenging for a historic fourth term as the first progressive party candidate.

He said, "Goyang Gap is not a district that can be changed by just one election," and added, "We must prepare for a long-term battle with the Justice Party, which controls even the basic councils."

He continued, "A politician who can take root in the region is needed," emphasizing, "Starting from the general election, we must reorganize the organization with an eye on the presidential and local elections two years later."

He also said, "In the tough district of Goyang Gap, victory is impossible without moving beyond the existing conservative support base to the moderate and progressive groups, especially those in their 30s and 40s," adding, "As a field expert who has been active in education and job sites, and as a father of a newborn child, I will empathize closely with them and win their hearts."

Baek added, "Public sentiment throughout Goyang is shaking due to the government's reckless real estate policies and the illegal election allegations against the mayor of Goyang," and said, "I will create the biggest upset in the fiercest battleground of this election."
