[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Lee Kang-rae, the Democratic Party candidate for Namwon, Imsil, and Sunchang in Jeonbuk, apologized to the citizens and promised regional development through a letter titled "A Letter from Lee Kang-rae from the Heart - I am Sorry" on the 9th.

In the letter, candidate Lee Kang-rae confessed, "The local residents made Lee Kang-rae shine as a three-term member of the National Assembly, serving as the Democratic Party floor leader and chairman of the National Assembly Budget Committee," and reflected on his shortcomings in response to the criticism that he should have worked harder for regional development, saying he will engrave it in his bones."

He continued, "I kneel and bow before the mothers, fathers, grandfathers, and grandmothers of Namwon, Imsil, and Sunchang and promise," and vowed, "I will definitely resolve the Namwon Public Medical Graduate School and the Jirisan eco-friendly electric train within this year to improve the region's conditions."

He also said, "I will make Imsil greener with the Seomjin River Okjeongho waterfront road, and resolve the local road No. 55 in Sunchang early to export the taste of Sunchang to the world."

In particular, he stated, "Lee Kang-rae is a person of the ruling Democratic Party and President Moon Jae-in, but the greatest strength for Lee Kang-rae is the passionate love of the residents of Namwon, Imsil, and Sunchang," and expressed his determination, "I will run properly for regional development with the assets that the local residents have cared for and nurtured."

Then, quoting the words of poet Kim Yong-taek’s mother to her son, "When you live, distant things will happen," he promised, "From now on, I will make 'distant things' happen in Namwon, Imsil, and Sunchang. I will make distant matters arise."
