[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] On the 7th, Hong Joon-pyo, a presidential candidate from the People Power Party, said, "I doubt whether Lee Jae-myung can complete the race," and "If I become president, I will put Lee Jae-myung behind bars immediately," continuously firing volleys at Governor Lee.

Visiting Ulsan that day, Representative Hong said, "Even if I advance, I can easily defeat candidate Lee Jae-myung in the main election."

At the jp Hope Camp Ulsan Election Committee appointment ceremony held at the People Power Party Ulsan City Party, Representative Hong expressed the view that it would be difficult for Governor Lee to complete the race due to the Daejang-dong development scandal.

Regarding the opposition's accusation that Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung is the mastermind behind the Daejang-dong development corruption, he said, "It cannot even be called political retaliation; he is the main culprit who embezzled money and committed corruption. If I become president, I will put him behind bars," he reiterated.

Representative Hong continued, "In the last presidential election, I ran as a candidate to save a failed party, but now I am running to become president."

He pointed out, "The candidate who goes to the main election must be absolutely clean. After becoming a candidate, there is a four-month war. It is difficult to win the main election by putting forward a candidate who is already full of wounds."

He also claimed, "If candidate Lee Jae-myung advances to the main election and faces me, it will probably have the highest TV debate ratings in Korean presidential election history," adding, "I am better in fighting, intellect, and policy. Since I know all of Lee Jae-myung's weaknesses, I can easily win in the main election."

In Ulsan, the stronghold of powerful labor unions, he said, "The country's ruin is caused by the mischief of militant labor unions. If they do not restrain themselves, Ulsan will die and the Korean economy will collapse," and added, "It is time to exercise restraint and unite for the sake of the Republic of Korea."

At the jp Hope Camp Ulsan Election Committee appointment ceremony that day, Park Sung-min, the city party chairman, and Ahn Hyo-dae, head of the comprehensive situation room of the Hong Joon-pyo camp central election committee, attended.

Following the appointment ceremony, Representative Hong visited local party chapters in Ulju-gun, Nam-gu Gap and Eul, and Buk-gu to appeal for support.
