[Gangneung=Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-ryeong] Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate who claims to be the 'Gangneung Oeson' (maternal grandson of Gangneung), has started efforts to win the votes of Gangwon Province.

On the 10th at around 6:20 PM, Candidate Yoon arrived at Gangneung Jungang Market to begin a 2-day, 1-night schedule in Gangwon Province.

Surrounded by a crowd, Candidate Yoon raised both hands and said loudly, "The Oeson of Gangneung has come to Gangneung," adding, "The Oeson of Gangneung will definitely replace the incompetent and immoral government." Supporters shouted "Yoon Seok-yeol" and waved placards reading "Eodaeyoon" (Anyway, the president is Yoon Seok-yeol).

Candidate Yoon then emphasized, "This street is where my maternal family lived, and this Jungang Market is where my grandmother's shop was when I was young," adding, "It is the place where I always played as a child."

Entering the market, Candidate Yoon personally purchased rice cakes and honey. At a rice cake shop, he also said, "Let's buy the original potato rice cake."

Whenever Gangneung citizens passing by shouted "Yoon Seok-yeol fighting," Candidate Yoon raised his hand and greeted them with "Thank you" and "Hello." He also signed palms, wrists, and papers for some citizens. He took selfies with those who requested photos.

During his movement, Candidate Yoon also met his great-aunt. He said, "She is my grandmother's younger sister," and showed care by asking, "Did you come out in this cold weather?"

Accompanying Candidate Yoon on this Gangneung schedule were Kwon Seong-dong, the Secretary-General representing Gangneung as his electoral district, along with lawmakers Yoo Sang-beom and Kim Eun-hye.

Starting from Gangneung, Candidate Yoon plans to visit other Gangwon areas such as Sokcho and Chuncheon until the 11th, focusing on winning the hearts of Gangwon residents.
