[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] On the first day of official election campaigning for the 21st general election, the Future Korea Party began their campaign with a morning greeting to commuters at the Gwanghwamun intersection in Seoul on the 2nd.

The Korea Party proportional representation candidates wore pink jumpers, sashes with the number 4, and white gloves marked with the number 4 to greet citizens. However, Representative Won Yoo-chul and Policy Committee Chairman Kim Ki-seon wore pink-toned jumpers and gloves without any numbers.

Cho Su-jin, the Korea Party chief spokesperson, explained, "To comply with Article 68 of the Public Official Election Act," adding, "The Future Korea Party leadership, who are not running in the general election, can engage in various activities such as joint campaigns and endorsement speeches with the United Korea Party (Article 88 of the Public Official Election Act). However, since they are not candidates, they cannot use items displaying the party name or number during Future Korea Party morning greetings."

She further stated that the pink jumpers and gloves without numbers have already been produced, and they plan to create various slogan stickers to efficiently showcase different outfit images.

Earlier, Representative Won and others conducted their first campaign schedule at Dongdaemun Market at midnight together with Kim Jong-in, the Future United Party’s general election committee chairman.
