[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Jung-wan] Hong Joon-pyo, a member of the People Power Party, will join Representative Lee Jun-seok for a street campaign in Daegu Dongseong-ro.


On the 10th, Representative Lee posted on his Facebook, "This Saturday evening (the 12th), I will meet Daegu citizens on the streets of Daegu Dongseong-ro together with Representative Hong Joon-pyo."


He added, "This is Representative Hong Joon-pyo's first step in actively participating in support activities in Daegu, his political base, for the election of candidate Yoon Seok-yeol," emphasizing, "I hope many people will join us."

In response to a supporter’s question on his communication channel 'Youth's Dream' about whether he would join Representative Lee Jun-seok in the street campaign, Representative Hong said, "Representative Lee will come out to Dongseong-ro at 7:30 PM on Saturday," sharing the street campaign plan.


Earlier, on the 9th, Representative Hong stated on Facebook, "There is now only one month left until the presidential election," and "I will do everything I can for the great cause of regime change."


He revealed his difficulties, saying, "The hardest case during an election is losing in the primary rather than the general election." He continued, "From the primary to the general election, one must maintain silence without debating right or wrong, and while supporting the primary winner’s campaign, one must work hard for the general election victory, which inevitably leads to a very difficult and challenging time."



Originally, Representative Hong had planned a 'TV Hong-Cola' talk with presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol on the 9th and a street campaign on the 11th, but postponed the talk at Yoon’s request and delayed the Daegu Dongseong-ro campaign by one day due to the operation of the 'Yoon Seok-yeol car.'
