[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, held an official campaign kickoff rally on the 15th at Cheonggye Plaza in Seoul. Candidate Yoon described this presidential election as "an election to judge corruption and incompetence, an election to revive people’s livelihoods, and an election to unify the Republic of Korea," launching a campaign focused on ‘livelihood’ and ‘unity.’



At the kickoff rally, figures symbolizing unity from various sectors of society took the stage. The national anthem was accompanied on piano by Kim Ye-ji, a visually impaired pianist and member of the People Power Party, while Byun Seung-il, president of the Korea Deaf Association, performed it in sign language. Additionally, Dina Stryukova, a granddaughter of Sakhalin migrant workers and a working mom, and Yoon Cheong-ja, a bereaved family member of the Cheonan ship incident, also participated together.
