[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] The Democratic Party of Korea has strategically nominated former judge Lee Sujin as a challenger to Na Kyung-won, a member of the Future United Party, in Seoul Dongjak-eul. In response, Na criticized on the 5th, saying, "How many people have just come and gone as candidates for Dongjak-eul since last year?"


Na wrote on her Facebook on the same day, "Is it arrogance to think anyone can become a candidate just because they are from the Democratic Party?" adding, "There have been countless opinion polls conducted every weekend involving Kang Kyung-hwa, Go Min-jung, Lee Sujin, Lee Yong-woo, Choi Ki-sang, Kim Nam-guk, and others."


She pointed out, "(The Democratic Party) strategically nominated someone with no ties to Dongjak and sent them down," and questioned, "I wonder if they have ever considered even for a moment the development of Dongjak and the lives of its residents."


She continued, "Six years and 50,000 hours with Dongjak residents. Over 1,000 consultations every Saturday where we put our heads together," and said, "As a member of Dongjak residents, the time spent to create a better Dongjak includes knowing which alleys lack CCTV, which daycare teachers are new in which neighborhood, and how delicious the newly opened twisted doughnut shop in front of the office market alley is."



Then Na concluded her post, saying, "As always, I will continue to walk the path for Dongjak together with its residents," "There are Dongjak people who cherish their village deeply, and there is Na Kyung-won, a Dongjak person. With my experience as a multi-term lawmaker, I will become Na Kyung-won who empowers Dongjak."
