"Min Hyung-bae, Accept Defeat" Supporters of Park Si-jong Cause Commotion at Press Conference

Min Hyung-bae Preliminary Candidate Press Conference Held on a Reduced Scale

Supporters of candidate Park Si-jong are protesting at candidate Min Hyung-bae's press conference, shouting slogans such as "Min Hyung-bae, concede."

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Regarding the re-election in Gwangsan-gu (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, under the Democratic Party of Korea, preliminary candidate Min Hyung-bae was scheduled to express his position, but the situation was temporarily delayed by supporters of the opposing candidate.

Preliminary candidate Min was supposed to hold a press conference at 11:30 a.m. on the 10th at the Gwangju Metropolitan City Council and announce a statement welcoming the party's Supreme Council decision on the re-election.

However, supporters of preliminary candidate Park, who held a press conference around 10 a.m., caused a disturbance in the briefing room with slogans such as “Min Hyung-bae should resign,” “Min Hyung-bae is old-fashioned and illegal,” and “Min Hyung-bae should concede,” resulting in a temporary postponement.

Accordingly, preliminary candidate Min moved to the Gwangju City Council press room and replaced the event with a brief briefing.

Meanwhile, in the Democratic Party primary for the Gwangsan-eul district of Gwangju, preliminary candidate Park Si-jong defeated preliminary candidate Min Hyung-bae to secure a place in the main election, but Min filed a re-examination request claiming that “Preliminary candidate Park conducted an unfair primary through illegal party member inquiries.” The re-examination committee accepted this, and the party's Supreme Council confirmed the re-election.
