[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong, Busan=Reporters Park Jun-i and Kang Joo-hee] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, visited Busan on the 15th and emphasized, "I will transform Busan into the world's best maritime city in name and reality."

On the afternoon of the same day, Yoon stated in front of Judith Taehwa Department Store in Seomyeon, Busan, "For Busan's leap forward, I will achieve a splendid and perfect victory together with the great citizens of Busan in this presidential election." As he stepped onto the stage, Yoon shook hands and greeted the citizens of Busan in front of him. Every time Yoon raised both arms and cheered, the citizens shouted his name, "Yoon Seok-yeol," in excitement. Some citizens even handed him bouquets directly.

Yoon then said, "I will transform (Busan) into the world's leading advanced science and technology city," adding, "I will change Busan so that young people who studied here can find good jobs and live here with their parents and friends without having to go elsewhere."

To this end, he presented pledges on ways to develop Busan. He said, "We will establish a foundation for economic and industrial development in the Busan-Ulsan-Gyeongnam (Boo-Ul-Gyeong) region by densely building a transportation network that includes a metropolitan express railroad (GTX) and a 30-minute living zone," and added, "There is nothing more to see about the Gadeokdo New Airport. We will promptly start construction, complete it during my term, and attach necessary infrastructure to make it a hub for regional economic development."

He also launched a fierce attack on the ruling party and Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea. Yoon said, "We will judge the incompetent and corrupt Democratic Party regime with the power of the People Power Party and the citizens of Busan," and added, "What did they say when they came here? Instead of revitalizing Busan, they said Busan is shabby and boring." This was a reference to Lee's remark last year that "Busan is boring." Yoon continued, "My heart races just by getting off in front of Busan Station. How fun and wonderful Busan is," and added, "Do we have to watch this ungrateful regime one more time?"

Yoon also said, "Yoon Seok-yeol, raised by the citizens of Busan, will not misuse the power given by the people but will listen carefully to your words and exercise it with infinite responsibility, cautiously and very cautiously," explaining, "Above all, the livelihood of the people is the most important thing in front of me, and nothing else."

Along with this, Yoon posed as if flying a red airplane-shaped sculpture. The surface of the airplane was inscribed with "People and with Yoon Seok-yeol." Yoon said, "This airplane is the dream of Busan. Please think of it as an airplane carrying the dream of Busan and flying."
