[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Kim Hyun-sung, a prospective candidate for Nam-gu Eul district in Busan (lawyer), has joined the Korea Economic Party. He will face off against Lee Eon-ju, a member of the Future United Party.


On the 20th, Kim introduced himself as "a victim directly hit by the fallout from Lee Eon-ju’s strategic nomination," and stated, "I declare my candidacy together with the Korea Economic Party to judge the Moon Jae-in administration and to correct the unfairness of the Future United Party."


Since January last year, he has served as the out-of-parliament party committee chairman for the Busan Nam-gu Eul district of the Liberty Korea Party. Kim criticized, "Granting a strategic nomination to candidate Lee Eon-ju, who has never engaged in any activities in Nam-gu and was discarded without even the minimum opportunity for a primary, is favoritism and unfairness itself."


He continued, "Following the Cho Kuk incident last year, public opinion demanding the judgment of the Moon Jae-in administration in this general election has been gaining momentum, especially in Busan, where public sentiment was flowing favorably toward the Future United Party. However, due to the nomination turmoil of the Future United Party, including Lee Eon-ju’s strategic nomination, public sentiment is once again unsettled."



He emphasized, "There is no longer fairness, economy, or people to be found in the two major established parties. We can no longer rely solely on the two major parties."
