[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Candidate Lee Yoon-seok, who served two terms in the 18th and 19th National Assembly representing his district, registered as a preliminary candidate for the National Assembly election in Yeongam, Muan, and Sinan, Jeollanam-do on December 17 last year. Under the slogan "A National Assembly Member Who Works Well," he has been traversing every corner of the district from 5 a.m. to midnight.

After losing the Democratic Party primary in the 2016 general election and failing to advance to the main election, he ran as a candidate for the Party for Democracy and Peace in the 2018 by-election but was defeated again. This time, he aims for a comeback.

After serving three terms as a provincial assembly member, he ran as an independent in the 2008 18th general election, creating an upset by defeating Hwang Ho-soon of the United Democratic Party and Kim Hong-up, the second son of DJ, who also ran as an independent.

He later joined the Democratic Party and defeated candidate Seo, who had moved up from county governor to challenge him in the primary, successfully winning re-election in 2012.

However, in the 2016 party primary, he lost to Seo and did not advance to the main election.

He then moved to the People's Party and faced Seo again in the 2018 rematch but was defeated once more. In this 21st general election, he is running as a candidate of the Minsheng Party, challenging once again for a seat in the National Assembly.

Candidate Lee Yoon-seok prides himself on having worked harder than anyone else for regional development and the nation during his terms in the 18th and 19th National Assembly.

He once secured the second-highest amount of regional budget among 300 National Assembly members and was recognized as a diligent worker by winning three awards for outstanding attendance at plenary sessions, standing committee meetings, and party meetings, with nearly 100% attendance during his term.

When typhoons Muifa and Bolaven caused significant damage in 2011 and 2012, he strongly urged the government, resulting in Sinan being designated a special disaster area, alleviating residents' suffering.

His pledges include constructing the world's longest cable car at Wolchulsan National Park to attract tourists and expanding various cultural and educational infrastructures to build the Namak and Oryong new towns, where people and nature coexist harmoniously.

He also announced plans to promote a 231 km coastal tourism road and actively pursue island and land-bridge projects in Sinan, which consists of 1,004 islands.

Candidate Lee Yoon-seok emphasized, "During my time as a National Assembly member, my wife personally wrote hundreds of birthday cards daily to residents and sent them by mail. This election should be about choosing someone who cares for the residents and is a person who truly works well."
