[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 4th, the People Power Party announced that 10 candidates, including former lawmakers Lee Hye-hoon, Jung Mi-kyung, Jeon Hee-kyung, and former Seocho District Mayor Cho Eun-hee, applied for nomination in Seocho Gap.

Lee, a former lawmaker who served three terms in Seocho Gap, sent a text message to party members and supporters on the same day, emphasizing, "Seocho needs a powerful senior economic expert," and added, "I am specialized in 'real estate and taxes,' the worst failures of the Moon Jae-in administration." Jeon Hee-kyung, a former lawmaker who previously served as the Seocho Gap party committee chair, also stated, "I am the lawmaker the Democratic Party fears the most," and said, "I will skillfully work with the passion of the 40s generation from day one."

Other applicants in Seocho Gap include former Seo Young University invited professor Kim Min-sook, current Dong-A Health University pet major professor Kim Hae-jung, former Deputy Prime Minister’s Office official Oh Byung-joo, former Samsung Electronics business planning group leader Lee Seung-hyun, former National Intelligence Service 1st Deputy Director Jeon Ok-hyun, and former Korea Pharmaceutical Association president-elect and transition committee 1st division chairperson Choi Mi-young (in alphabetical order).

Meanwhile, in the Seoul Jongno by-election, a total of five candidates applied for nomination, including former party committee chair and former lawmaker Jung Moon-heon, U.S. tax accountant Yoon Ji-kyung, economic strategy writer Jung Dong-hee, former People Power Party Seoul Metropolitan Deputy Chairman Jung Byung-doo, and one undisclosed applicant. In Gyeonggi Anseong, two candidates applied: former three-term lawmaker Kim Hak-yong and former People Power Party Gyeonggi Provincial Party spokesperson Lee Sang-min. In Chungbuk Cheongju Sangdang, three candidates applied: four-term former lawmaker Jung Woo-taek, lawyer Kim Ki-yoon, and former Daegu High Prosecutors’ Office chief prosecutor Yoon Gap-geun. Among the five by-election districts, the People Power Party decided not to nominate a candidate in Daegu Jungnang-gu, so no applications were accepted there this time.
