Cheon Ha-ram, Young Conservative Leader, Chooses Suncheon, Jeonnam Over 'Future Maker'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Cheon Ha-ram, the leader of the youth centrist conservative party 'Jeolmeun Bosu' who joined the United Future Party, announced on the 5th that he has applied for candidacy in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do.

Earlier, the United Future Party held an additional recruitment for candidate recommendations in constituencies such as Gwangju, Jeollanam-do, and Jeonbuk for two days starting from the 4th. Cheon submitted his candidacy during this additional application period on the 4th. Until the additional recruitment, there were only two applicants for constituencies in the Honam region within the United Future Party.

He was one of the 16 candidates to be nominated in the 'Future Maker' area, a youth belt in the metropolitan area, but he chose to set that aside and apply for the more challenging Suncheon region.

Cheon explained his reason, saying, "There were many considerations, but our (Jeolmeun Bosu's) vision is to boldly express true conservative values and to be a respectable conservative politics even in Honam. I thought it was necessary not just to say this but to truly demonstrate it." He added that he also considered that Suncheon is a symbol of East-West harmony, having elected Representative Lee Jeong-hyun twice.

Jeolmeun Bosu is a centrist conservative party pursuing individual autonomy and happiness beyond industrialization and democratization, and it joined the United Future Party upon its launch on the 17th of last month. Its core policies include a 40% reduction in corporate tax and a 160 trillion won reduction in national debt.
