[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Former Board of Audit and Inspection Chairman Choi Jae-hyung visited Busan as his first step after joining the People Power Party and participated in volunteer activities with party members.

On the morning of the 17th, Choi took part in the 'Walking with the Vulnerable Committee' volunteer activity held near Seokdae Intersection by the riverside in Haeundae, Busan, where he picked up trash with local party members from the Haeundae area.

On that day, Choi was seen focusing on picking up trash along the riverside, holding a trash bag in one hand and tongs in the other. Politicians commented that he showcased the area he excels in the most. Choi is known to frequently engage in volunteer work and even has the nickname "Good Deed Maker."

After the volunteer activity, Choi shared with reporters, "As a People Power Party member, my first event was in Haeundae, Busan, where I worked with fellow party comrades to pick up trash in every corner under the rain and make the area clean. It was a very happy day for me."

He continued, "Busan has recently been experiencing economic and various other difficulties, but I am pleased that since Mayor Park Hyung-joon took office, a foundation for new development and leap forward is being established. I will also do my best for Busan's development," he said.

The volunteer activity took place in the constituency of Assemblywoman Kim Mi-ae. Kim, a former female worker at a textile factory in Busan, has worked as a human rights lawyer. She currently serves as the chairperson of the Walking with the Vulnerable Committee within the People Power Party. She is also a single mom who adopted and raised a child. It is interpreted that a sense of solidarity as 'adoptive family' was formed between her and former Chairman Choi, who are senior and junior colleagues in the legal community.
