[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Kim Du-gwan, a member of the Democratic Party running for president, will hold a book launch event in Gwangju ahead of his official campaign declaration on the 1st of next month.

On the 24th, Kim's team announced that following Seoul and Busan, the 'There Was No Flower Road' book launch event will be held in Gwangju on the 25th.

The book launch will be attended by about 40 people, including Assemblyman Shin Jeong-hoon, Kim Han-jong, Chairman of the Jeonnam Provincial Council, Kim Yong-jip, Chairman of the Gwangju City Council, as well as members of the Jeonnam Provincial Assembly and Gwangju City Council.

Kim's autobiography, "There Was No Flower Road," carries the subtitle "The Extraordinary Political Journey of an Ordinary Person," and details Kim's record of challenges built from scratch. It especially includes Kim's candid confession about his 2012 presidential bid and records of consecutive failures from 2002 until his election as governor in 2010.

Kim's team plans to use the book launch in Gwangju, following those in Seoul and Busan, as an opportunity to actively promote Kim's political legitimacy and values to the citizens of Gwangju and Democratic Party members.

The book launch event will be hosted by comedian Noh Jeong-yeol and will begin at 3 p.m., with pre-events taking place outside the main venue from 2 p.m. The event will be broadcast live on YouTube via 'Kim Du-gwan TV.'
