[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Kim Won-i, the Democratic Party candidate for the 21st National Assembly general election, has decided to name his campaign “Mokpo's Spring Days Camp” (abbreviated as Spring Days Camp) and has kicked off the election race.

On the 16th, Kim Won-i's campaign announced that they decided on “Spring Days Camp” to embody the value and vision of creating a new Mokpo with new people and new visions, and confirmed the supplementary phrase explaining “Spring Days Camp” as “New Spring, A New Mokpo is Coming.”

“New Spring” refers to the first spring after winter. It is a metaphorical expression for a time filled with new energy or hope, and the supplementary phrase symbolically expresses that a new Mokpo will begin in the new spring when the April 15 general election is held.

“Spring Days” reflects Mokpo’s determination to break free from stagnation and soar anew and vibrantly as it marks its 123rd year since the port opening. It contains the hope that, having overcome the cold winter, it will always be a good day with warm sunlight shining.

“Spring Days Camp” was inspired by a song by Lee Nan-young, a singer representing Mokpo. It also considered that “spring days” is a familiar term citizens commonly use to express good days in daily life.

Candidate Kim Won-i stated, “Spring Days Camp carries the meaning of wiping away ‘Tears of Mokpo’ and welcoming a new ‘Spring Days of Mokpo’ where citizens are prosperous, hopeful, and happy.”

He added, “In this general election, we will create a new and warm model of election campaigning and, together with the citizens, surely create a new spring day for Mokpo.”
