Candidate Park Ji-won is holding a press conference at 10 a.m. in front of Mokpo City Hall urging Democratic Party candidate Kim Won-i to withdraw.

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Seo Young-seo] On the morning of the 13th at 10 a.m., Park Ji-won, candidate for Mokpo City in the 21st general election, held an emergency press conference in front of Mokpo City Hall, urging the Democratic Party candidate Kim Won-i to immediately withdraw, stating that an incompetent and irresponsible candidate abandoned even by the Democratic Party can never uphold the pride of Mokpo.

Candidate Park Ji-won stated, “On the 12th, the Democratic Research Institute (Director Yang Jeong-cheol) and Suncheon candidate for National Assembly So Byung-chul signed a policy research and implementation agreement to attract a medical school to the southeastern region of Jeonnam,” adding, “The Democratic Party central committee has abandoned candidate Kim Won-i and concentrated the medical school in Suncheon.”

He continued, “Candidate Kim Won-i attended the southeastern medical school attraction promotion agreement ceremony held at candidate So Byung-chul’s election office on the 29th of last month, causing great hurt to the citizens of Mokpo,” and said, “Although he has been making excuses that the Democratic Party central committee did not decide on the Suncheon medical school attraction and that an announcement from the central party would be made soon, the betrayal of the citizens of Mokpo was fully exposed by the agreement ceremony on the 12th.”

He then emphasized, “Candidate Kim Won-i must take political and moral responsibility for his incompetence and betrayal, and Mokpo is the number one political base in Honam that produced a president,” adding, “An incompetent and irresponsible candidate abandoned even by the Democratic Party can never uphold the pride of Mokpo.”

In particular, he pointed out, “Just five months after candidate Kim came to Mokpo, the sound of Mokpo splitting apart can be heard clearly,” and criticized, “During the last primary, the party was split in two due to lawsuits and accusations, and in the main election, controversies over attracting a medical school, the underground development of Mokpo Station, and the Kia Motors campaign pledge have turned Mokpo into a wasteland, while election campaign materials and campaign vehicles were produced outside, in Paju.”

Candidate Park Ji-won promised, “I ask the citizens of Mokpo to judge candidate Kim Won-i,” and pledged, “Gathering opinions from all walks of life including citizens, religious groups, and civic organizations, I will definitely reclaim the lost medical school for Mokpo.”
