[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] With five days remaining until the People Power Party's presidential primary, former Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong, a presidential candidate from the party, appealed to the public and party members for support, stating, "The news that will plunge Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, into fear on November 5 is Won Hee-ryong becoming the People Power Party's candidate."


On the 31st, former Governor Won held a "National Support Appeal Press Conference" at an apartment complex in Baekhyeon-dong, Seongnam City, Gyeonggi Province, saying, "We are now facing three battles that we cannot afford to lose: the punishment of the gate forces, regime change, and the fight for an era change."


The location of the press conference is the site where allegations arose that Lee, during his tenure as mayor of Seongnam, granted special favors through a 'four-stage upward zoning change,' following the Daejang-dong development scandal. Previously, former Governor Won had positioned himself as the 'top instructor on Daejang-dong' and actively worked as the so-called 'Lee Jae-myung sniper.'


Former Governor Won directed his remarks at the ruling party and Lee's camp, saying, "They are neither progressive nor conservative. They are neither left nor right. They are merely a massive and ugly gate force," adding, "We cannot hand over the entire Republic of Korea to them."


He continued, "Please let me, Won Hee-ryong, enter the race," emphasizing, "I am the person who will confront candidate Lee one-on-one and uncover the Daejang-dong gate. I am the only one who can make this regime give up on negative politics and political conspiracies. There is no one but Won Hee-ryong."


He also added, "Only the flawless and risk-free Won Hee-ryong can make candidate Lee submit," and "Only Won Hee-ryong, who sees through the Daejang-dong gate and holds many reports from the public, can reveal the true nature of candidate Lee."


Former Governor Won stated, "I have fought the Democratic Party five times and won all five times," and "I will overwhelmingly win this battle, which must never be lost."



In conclusion, he said, "The sixth victory is not just my victory or the People Power Party's victory," and "It will be the victory of our people who seek to establish justice, open an era of unity, and move toward the future."
