[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Professor Kim Geun-sik of Gyeongnam National University, who is the head of the Seoul Songpa district of the People Power Party, has declared his candidacy for Seoul mayor.

On the 28th, Professor Kim stated, "Yoon Seok-yeol, the Prosecutor General, is fighting against the Moon administration in Seocho-dong, and I will properly fight the Moon administration from City Hall."

Professor Kim said, "The Seoul mayoral election requires choosing someone who can properly fight the ruthless Moon Jae-in administration," adding, "We need a gladiator mayor who can directly criticize the Moon administration's recklessness, incompetence, and shamelessness, and stand at the forefront of the opposition party to fight decisively."

He continued, "In the People Power Party primary, a new and fresh politician, not an established politician, should be selected as the candidate," emphasizing, "As a current professor, I am a new face who has developed political capabilities through political challenges."

Professor Kim said, "The Seoul mayoral candidate should embrace the Taegeukgi but not be confined by it, and must be a rational, dignified, and competent opposition candidate," adding, "As someone from Honam, I will take the lead to ensure that Honam is no longer a hostage of the Moon administration."

He also emphasized 'friendly competition' regarding opposition candidates outside the party, stating, "Through innovative and visionary competition in the People Power Party primary, I will lead an interesting and beautiful primary, and I will fairly and unconditionally unify with opposition candidates outside the party."
