[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the United Future Party running in Jongno, announced that he will "open the era of 15-minute travel between Jongno and Gangnam."


On the afternoon of the 23rd, Hwang held a press conference in front of Saegumjeong Saemaeul Geumgo and said, "We will expedite the northwest extension construction of the Shinbundang Line, but we will definitely ensure it passes through Jongno."



He also emphasized actively promoting the Gangbuk Transversal Line project, which connects Mokdong to Cheongnyangni over 25.72 km, to alleviate traffic congestion in northwest Seoul and solve the problem of entering the city center from the northern metropolitan area. To relieve the severe parking shortage in Jongno, he added that a large underground parking lot will be constructed on Jahamun-ro near Gyeongbokgung, and the playground of Jeongdok Library and the Songhyeon-dong site will be utilized as parking lots.
