[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Kim Hyun-chul, the second son of former President Kim Young-sam and a distinguished professor at Dongguk University, voted in the Seoul mayoral by-election on the 7th and predicted that "the opposition party will win."

After casting his vote at the Pyeongchang-dong 3rd polling station set up at Javier International School in Jongno-gu, Seoul, Professor Kim told reporters, "I believe the strong wind of the opposition party will overcome the ruling party's organization."

Regarding the significance of this by-election, he pointed out, "This election is not just between the candidates of the ruling and opposition parties. It is a confrontation between the people and the Moon Jae-in administration."

Immediately after voting, he also posted on Facebook, "To save the Republic of Korea, our home, and to protect our precious jobs, places to sleep, and food by ourselves, we must punish with our votes," adding, "Let us definitely return to a sensible and normal society where body and mind are safe and comfortable."

Earlier, Professor Kim publicly criticized Park Young-sun, the Seoul mayoral candidate running under the Democratic Party in the by-election, and Kim Young-choon, the Busan mayoral candidate.

On the 3rd, he wrote on Facebook, "Kim Young-choon came in as the youngest in Sangdo-dong and, having observed and learned great politics as his father's secretary for over 30 years, should at least be able to put that into practice. However, by becoming a member of the current administration, which is shameless, unprincipled, and incompetent, he is solely focused on petty and trivial politics completely detached from YS's political philosophy. It is truly pathetic," he criticized.

Regarding candidate Park, he stated, "I don't even feel she is worth talking about, so I don't want to mention her."
