[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Bae Hyunjin, a member of the People Power Party, officially announced her candidacy for the Supreme Council member election at the party convention next month.

On the morning of the 13th, Bae held a press conference at the National Assembly to declare her candidacy for Supreme Council member, stating, "I will become your 'real' Supreme Bae Hyunjin, who will devote all my strength to fulfilling the earnest wish of the people and party members to reclaim the true Republic of Korea."

Bae said, "In March next year, I will definitely change the lives of the people, which are currently hopeless and bleak," and emphasized, "The newly elected leadership of the People Power Party has the mission to produce a winning candidate that meets the people's expectations by the end of the year and then do their best to support from one step behind."

She continued, "For the true Republic of Korea created through regime change, I will not avoid any difficulties that arise," adding, "I will boldly take the lead for you. I will not be incompetent or wavering. I will not be afraid. I will always be your excellent sword and shield."

She also said, "I will create an impressive primary election stage through fair management trusted by the people and surely produce a victorious candidate who receives full support from the public," and "I will bring the regime change in March next year and the true victory of the people to the citizens and party members."

After the press conference, when asked by reporters why she decided to run for Supreme Council member while other first-term lawmakers are running for party leader, Bae replied, "I never considered running for party leader from the beginning," and said, "I thought about what I could do to fulfill my duties that meet the expectations of the people and party members. I will carry out a practical role."

Regarding the return of independent lawmaker Hong Jun-pyo to the party, Bae said, "He should definitely return," explaining, "All presidential candidates mentioned outside the party should come into our party to show fair primary rules and demonstrate a stage of harmony."
