[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] On the 3rd, Representative Hong Joon-pyo visited Busan and directly criticized candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, saying, "It is difficult for a candidate with corruption allegations to catch Lee Jae-myung, who is a bundle of corruption."

With the preliminary primary to narrow down the People Power Party's presidential candidates to four scheduled for the 8th, Representative Hong launched a campaign targeting Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam (PK) on the same day.

At the People Power Party Busan City Party headquarters, Representative Hong held a certificate awarding ceremony for the 'jp Hope Camp Busan Election Committee' and continued his efforts to strengthen the organization to secure party support.

Attendees included Representative Cho Kyung-tae, the central election committee chairman of the camp.

Representative Hong said, "Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party candidate, is a fighter," and added, "It is difficult for a candidate with corruption allegations to catch a bundle of corruption."

He delivered a direct blow to his competitor, candidate Yoon, saying, "Special Prosecutor Park Young-soo, who is linked to Hwacheon Daeyu, is Yoon Seok-yeol's prosecutorial godfather," and "It is impossible for Kim Man-bae's sister, who lives in Mok-dong, to buy Yoon's father's house in the alley of Yeonhui-dong without prior coordination."

Representative Hong then visited the party committees of Busanjin-eul (Lee Heun-seung), Busanjin-gap (Seo Byung-soo), Yeonje (Lee Joo-hwan), Geumjeong (Baek Jong-heon), and Bukgangseo-eul (Kim Do-eup) to appeal for support from incumbent lawmakers who have not yet expressed support for any presidential candidate.

The People Power Party's second preliminary primary will be conducted with 30% party member voters and 70% general public opinion polls, and the final primary will be 50% party members and 50% general public opinion polls. The direction of party support is expected to be decisive in selecting the final presidential candidate.

From the next day, the 4th, Representative Hong will visit Gyeongnam to meet party members including Park Dae-chul (Jinju-gap), Kang Min-guk (Jinju-eul), Choi Hyung-doo (Changwon Masanhappo), and Kang Ki-yoon (Changwon Seongsan), and on the 7th, he plans to tour Ulsan to meet Representatives Kim Ki-hyun (Nam-eul), Lee Chae-ik (Nam-gap), Park Sung-min (Jung), and Seo Beom-su (Ulju).
