[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 12th, the People Power Party engaged in volunteer activities for typhoon damage recovery in Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk. About 300 people participated in the volunteer activities, including Party Floor Leader Joo Ho-young, 21 People Power Party lawmakers, Gyeongbuk Governor Lee Cheol-woo, Gyeongju Mayor Joo Nak-young, party members, and assembly aides.

Floor Leader Joo said, "Wouldn't people love those who stand by them in difficult times?" After completing the volunteer work, they issued a statement titled '300 People Power Party Members in Bulguk-dong, Gyeongju,' saying, "300 People Power Party members rushed to the farms devastated and devastated by the typhoon," and "We picked fallen fruit in a 10,000 square meter pear orchard and stood up 2,000 square meters of fallen rice plants, laughing and encouraging farmers together."

They added, "'We thought you would just take pictures and leave. We were surprised.' Hearing such remarks repeatedly at the volunteer site pains the People Power Party," emphasizing, "We reflect on the moments when politicians' hypocrisy and insincerity hurt the people, and we will sincerely approach the people both in the National Assembly and on the ground. We hope to be recognized and loved more and more."

Jeong Hee-yong, chairman of the People Power Party Central Disaster Countermeasures Committee, said, "Following the longest rainy season of 54 days, typhoons occurred consecutively in a short period, causing great anxiety and property damage to residents in the Gyeongju area," and urged, "The government should designate the five metropolitan areas in the Yeongnam region as 'special disaster zones' and promptly provide disaster relief funds."

Previously, the People Power Party conducted flood recovery volunteer activities in Namwon, Jeonbuk; Gurye, Jeonnam; and Hadong, Gyeongnam, which were damaged by heavy rains.
