[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Lee Nak-yeon, the central election committee chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, visited Gwangjin-gu on the morning of the 31st. On the morning of the day, one week before the April 7 by-election, Lee boarded a campaign vehicle at the back gate of Children's Grand Park and appealed for support for Park Young-sun, the Seoul mayoral candidate.


Lee said, "The fact that venture companies created more jobs than the four major conglomerates, and the significant increase in the number of mid-sized companies with sales of 1 trillion won, were all achievements of candidate Park Young-sun as Minister of SMEs and Startups," praising Park Young-sun as "a very capable leader."


He also criticized candidate Oh Se-hoon, saying, "A person who says they will fight all year round and lies cannot become a leader," and appealed, "A person who says they will work every day and does not lie, Park Young-sun, must become mayor."


In particular, he raised his voice, saying, "The LH incident is very painful for the government and ruling party, but it will change a world where people make big money or despair because of real estate," and "At a critical time when 536 public officials and their families are under investigation for real estate speculation, we must not tolerate any Seoul or Busan mayoral candidates suspected of real estate issues."


Jeon Hye-sook, a member of the National Assembly from Gwangjin-gu Gap belonging to the Democratic Party of Korea, also appealed, "There are not just one or two projects promised only in words by the Seoul city government, such as the 1,000-pyeong plaza community center, but if the new mayor says 'I won't do it,' they will all disappear," and asked for support to "help Park Young-sun, who created a small business center in Gwangjin-gu as Minister of SMEs and Startups, to make Gwangjin-gu wonderful."



Meanwhile, despite being a weekday morning, about 500 citizens gathered at the campaign site according to police estimates, reflecting the heated election atmosphere and support for candidate Park Young-sun. In addition to Chairman Lee and Assemblywoman Jeon, Democratic Party members of the National Assembly including Song Young-gil, So Byung-hoon, Hong Sung-kook, Ko Min-jung, and Shin Hyun-young also participated.
