[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] Sim Sang-jung, the Justice Party presidential candidate, appealed for support on the first official day of the election campaign on the 15th, saying, "Now, the only candidate who can stop the 34 years of entrenched two-party politics is me, Sim Sang-jung."

At 5 a.m. that day, Sim greeted departing passengers at the KTX Honam Line platform at Yongsan Station in Seoul, saying, "I will carry out the mission of a great transformation of the Republic of Korea." He said, "The citizens of Honam have guided the path of progress and reform whenever Korea faced political turning points," and added, "I want to appeal to the Honam citizens to stop the historical regression of Korea and to achieve a four-day workweek welfare state for all working citizens." He continued, "I, Sim Sang-jung, promise to take responsibility for the lives of the people and protect the future of Korea."

Starting with the early morning train departure greeting to Honam, Sim will campaign during the morning commute in Iksan, Jeonbuk, and hold a meeting with representatives of the Jeonbuk branch of the Chemical Workers' Union. Then he will move to Jeonju to hold the main campaign launch ceremony and meet citizens at the Jungang Birdnamu Market. In the afternoon, he will visit Gwangju to attend a site meeting on the Gwangju-type job project, pay respects at the memorial altar for the victims of the Hwajeong-dong collapse accident, and campaign in front of U-Square.

Earlier, on the 14th, at a Kwanhun Club invitation debate, Sim said, "This presidential election is one where the desire to judge the government is strongly activated due to the failure of the Candlelight Government," and drew a line on the possibility of unification with Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party candidate, saying, "Unification is not in my dictionary." He added, "If even I avoid this place, the voices of countless non-mainstream citizens not represented by the two-party politics will be completely erased."
