[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, attended the Gwangju Election Countermeasures Committee Victory Resolution Rally held at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center on the afternoon of the 6th, appealing for support to bring about a regime change.

On that day, Candidate Yoon visited the National 5·18 Democratic Cemetery to pay respects and then went to the site of the collapsed newly constructed apartment by Hyundai Development Company to meet with the victims' families before arriving here.

Entering with a calm expression, Candidate Yoon raised his hand to greet supporters and headed to his seat. The supporters responded with applause and cheers.

The event proceeded in the following order: ▲National ceremony ▲Introduction of the candidate and key attendees ▲Greetings from Park Joo-sun, Kim Kyung-jin, and Song Ki-seok, co-chairs of the Gwangju Election Countermeasures Committee ▲Greeting from Jeong Un-cheon, chairman of the People Power Party’s National Integration Committee ▲Reading of the victory pledge by Park Geun-woo, chairman of the Gwangju Student Election Committee ▲Candidate’s greeting ▲Victory performance (drone show).

Park Joo-sun, co-chair of the Gwangju Election Countermeasures Committee, emphasized, “Though the small sprout supporting Candidate Yoon is in a barren environment, it is growing as the ice melts,” adding, “With the determination of ‘fight to the death’ and ‘no retreat before battle,’ if we try twice what we would do once, the hearts of Honam will turn as well.”

Kim Kyung-jin, co-chair, stated, “Now, the vote target for Candidate Yoon in Honam is not 20%, but can be expected to reach 30 to 40%,” and argued, “If Yoon Seok-yeol becomes president, it will be a world where wrongs can be called wrongs, and the country where the judicial system was mocked can be changed.”

Song Ki-seok, co-chair, said emphatically, “Shouldn’t we judge the hypocritical regime, the real estate policies that took away the hope of owning a home, the quarantine policies that abandoned small business owners, and diplomacy with North Korea? What will happen to our country if a person who is a worse criminal than a neighborhood thug, a flip-flopper, the mastermind of the greatest corruption scandal since Dangun, and the ultimate master of irrelevant answers becomes president?”

He added, “To leap forward to the future Gwangju, the world’s Gwangju, industry and jobs are necessary. This regime change must have Gwangju at its center.”

Park Geun-woo, co-chair of the Gwangju Student Joint Election Committee, also supported Candidate Yoon.

Park said, “The heart supporting Candidate Yoon, who fought against the living power and made countless efforts for fairness and common sense, is burning passionately,” adding, “Our youth and university students are thirsty for fairness, and we must help Candidate Yoon, who can sow the seeds of fairness, to achieve an overwhelming regime change.”

After Park’s reading of the pledge, the youth election committee presented Candidate Yoon with a red hoodie featuring his caricature and the victory pledge.

Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, attended the "Victory Resolution Rally" held on the 6th at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center in Gwangju to appeal for support.

Candidate Yoon said, “Seeing Mudeungsan again reminded me of the days I worked in Gwangju long ago,” and stated, “I will pursue politics resembling the reliable and generous Mudeungsan.”

He continued, “I will create a truly united Republic of Korea through integrative politics that do not divide into ‘my side’ and ‘your side,’ politics of trust and faith that do not easily break promises, and politics that restore broken laws and common sense.”

He also promised, “The May 18th movement resisted and protected the spirit of liberal democracy with blood, making Gwangju the cradle of liberal democracy and informing our country and the world about what it means. I will become the guardian of this spirit of liberal democracy and carry out governance where the people are the owners and the government acts with the hearts of the people.”

Furthermore, he emphasized, “It is also very meaningful that this inauguration ceremony to change the Republic of Korea and Gwangju is held at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center,” adding, “Here, honoring former President Kim Dae-jung, an outstanding politician and national leader born in Honam, I promise to firmly change Gwangju.”

He added, “The Republic of Korea I want to build with you is a dynamic country, a warm country that cares for the socially vulnerable, and a country of dreams and hope for future generations. Gwangju has played a pioneering role at every turn of history. If the citizens of Gwangju and the people of Honam join me, we can build a dynamic Republic of Korea.”

Meanwhile, Candidate Yoon will conclude his schedule in Jeju and Gwangju with this resolution rally and return to Seoul.
