[Asia Economy Reporters Bomryeong Geum, Junyi Park] The People Power Party will select four party spokespersons through a 'debate battle' open to the entire nation. The title is 'I am a People Power Party Spokesperson.'

According to the People Power Party on the 15th, applications for the party spokesperson public audition will be accepted from the 20th to the 22nd.

On the 23rd, 100 candidates will be selected in the first announcement, followed by a pressure interview conducted by party leader Joon-seok Lee on the 24th to form the round of 16 on the 27th. The quarterfinals will be held on the 30th, and the final four will be decided on the 4th of next month. The top 1st and 2nd will be appointed as party spokespersons, while the 3rd and 4th will be appointed as full-time deputy spokespersons.

Any South Korean citizen aged 18 or older, regardless of gender or age, is eligible to participate. Applicants must choose one of the given topics and submit a video expressing their thoughts verbally. Seunghui Hwangbo, the senior spokesperson of the People Power Party, explained, "Basically, this is a test to see if they have the ability to speak well in front of a camera."

The round of 16 and quarterfinals will involve team debates. From the semifinals onward, scores will be accumulated in a league format, and prizes will be awarded to the top four.

From the round of 16, the event will be open to the public. Judging will be based on a combination of on-site judges' scores and real-time ARS voting. Spokesperson Hwangbo said, "If possible, we will bring in various panelists with different political orientations from other parties as judges."
