Candidate Lee Seok-hyung said, “Now, we intend to actively discover Gwangsan development policies and agendas centered on the citizens,” and added, “We will organize the policies and agendas announced so far, receive various opinions from citizens through the election headquarters, the internet, and SNS, and proceed with reflecting and realizing policies through public discussion processes.”

He continued, “With the spirit of Yujigyeongseong (有志竟成), meaning ‘where there is a will, there is a way,’ I will do my best to further brighten Gwangsan and Gwangju,” and added, “As a confident National Assembly candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, I will overwhelmingly win the general election and create a working National Assembly and working National Assembly members.”

He expressed regret over the ongoing reality of conspiracies, intrigues, slander, and the spread of false information, stating, “I express my regret over the continuous acts of conspiracy, intrigue, black propaganda, and dissemination of false facts,” and urged, “Please immediately stop the ‘take it or leave it’ style fault-finding and join together for a brighter Gwangsan and a vigorous Gwangju.”
