[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 29th, Kim Jong-in, the General Election Committee Chairman of the United Future Party, visited the election office of Hwang Kyo-ahn, the leader of the United Future Party who is running in Jongno, and expressed confidence that they can win the election.

On that day in the afternoon, at Hwang's office, Chairman Kim said, "There are two weeks left until the general election, and the election results will change depending on how voters' minds change during these two weeks," adding, "In elections, the person who is chasing is more advantageous than the one who is ahead."

He added, "In my view, we will win the election," and said, "There are people who wonder if it will really happen, but I think we can win."

In response, Leader Hwang smiled and said, "I am also a person who is chasing," then added, "Chairman Kim coming to the party is a great strength. Our goal is definitely to win the general election, and I think the public will witness the process of winning." Chairman Kim also advised, "The outcome of the general election will be determined by the votes in the metropolitan area, which has 121 constituencies. Jongno is a difficult area, so it would be good to visit the western part a lot."

Meanwhile, Chairman Kim held an emergency economic measures press conference at the National Assembly in the afternoon and stated that 100 trillion won, which is 20% of this year's budget, should be converted into a "COVID-19 emergency response budget."
