[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Ju Cheol-in] With the 'Presidential Race' just 60 days away rapidly intensifying, love calls toward PK, considered the biggest battleground, continue.

The Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung's direct Balance Development Committee held its launch ceremony on the 4th at the National Assembly Members' Office Building's main conference room, appointing three co-chairmen: National Assembly member Kim Doo-kwan, former Jeonbuk National University honorary professor Song Gi-do, and CEO of Nambu Airport Service Jo Young-jin, officially commencing activities.

At the launch ceremony, under the banner of creating a country where citizens prosper evenly regardless of where they live, they resolved to elevate national balanced development as a core agenda of the Democratic Party's presidential campaign and to establish a nationwide organization to contribute to candidate Lee Jae-myung's election.

The Balance Development Committee aims to reorganize the nation into five mega cities (5-megacity) ? Southeast region (Gyeongnam, Busan, Ulsan), Daegyeong region (Daegu, Gyeongbuk), Central region (Sejong, Daejeon, Chungcheong), Honam region (Gwangju, Jeonnam), and the Capital region ? and three special autonomous regions (3-special autonomous regions) ? Saemangeum, Jeonbuk Special Autonomous Province, Gangwon Special Autonomous Province, and Jeju Special Autonomous Province ? to create a new national growth strategy through the '5-megacity 3-special autonomous region system.'

This is interpreted as formalizing candidate Lee Jae-myung's plan to add and succeed the Saemangeum and Jeonbuk areas to the '5-megacity 2-special autonomous region system,' which was a core pledge of National Assembly member Kim Doo-kwan, a former Democratic Party presidential primary candidate.

The launch ceremony was further weighted by the participation of Party Leader Song Young-gil, Floor Leader Yoon Ho-jung, Candidate Secretary-General Oh Young-hoon, Assembly members Shin Jeong-hoon and Song Jae-ho, and Sung Kyung-ryung, Chair of the Participatory Government's Balanced Development Committee.

Meanwhile, in Busan, attention is focused on how much synergy effect can be generated in the presidential and local elections, as a cooperative system is expected to be established between the Balance Development Committee led by Co-chairman Jo Young-jin and former Minister of Oceans and Fisheries Kim Young-choon, who has taken on the role of megacity promoter and chairman of the megacity promotion committee.
