[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-gwon] The Progressive Party Suncheon City Committee (Chairman Yoo Young-gap) announced on the 22nd that they held a joint press conference for six candidates for Suncheon City Council, stating, "The start of systemic transition and progressive governance will be opened by six candidates in Suncheon," and "Suncheon politics must be overturned this June for South Korean politics to change."

Kim Jun-hee, a preliminary candidate running in Dosa, Sangsa, and Namje-dong, stated, "At first, I thought that student movements would change schools and the country, youth movements would improve the lives of young people, and unification movements would peacefully unite the North and South, but I realized that nothing happens without holding political power, so I directly entered politics."

She currently serves as Secretary-General of Suncheon Peace Butterfly and Director of the Taebaek Mountain Range Literary Tour.

Candidate Kim graduated from Isu Middle School, Suncheon Technical High School, and Suncheon University, and currently serves as the Organizational Director of the Jeonnam region of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions.



Choi Mi-hee, a preliminary candidate running for Wangjo 1-dong and Seomyeon City Council, is active in society as the Chairperson of the Residents' Representative Meeting of Suncheon Jorye Kumho Town Apartments and the Operating Subcommittee Chair of the Suncheon Education Participation Committee, pledging to work hard as a true representative of the residents.
