[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Park Jong-ho, a preliminary candidate for Jeonnam Provincial Assembly member (32, Democratic Party), officially declared his candidacy on the 11th for the Jeonnam Provincial Assembly Suncheon District 2 (Haeryong-myeon), stating, "I will bring new changes to Jeonnam provincial administration based on the capabilities of youth and grassroots democracy experience."


Candidate Park said, "I started politics with the determination to serve local residents and raise the voices of young people," and expressed his intention to run by saying, "Although I am lacking, I will always take on challenges to create a 'young and vibrant Suncheon.'"


He continued, "At the age of 28, I first ran for Suncheon City Council with youthful vigor and succeeded, and during my term, I have worked to represent chronic local issues from the residents' perspective," emphasizing, "I have advocated for expanding public facilities and parking spaces to alleviate residents' transportation inconveniences in preparation for the aging urban area of the Sangsam region, and have worked together with residents to improve childcare and educational conditions in the Shindae district."


He added, "There were limitations in approaching the issues of the Shindae district, which was developed as a hinterland of the Gwangyang Bay Free Economic Zone, due to different administrative authorities, and I could not participate in discussions on Haeryong area issues either, so I decided to run to avoid remaining a half-hearted worker," explaining the background of his candidacy.


Candidate Park stated, "As a first-term city council member, my new challenge is to break the framework of conventional political norms and spread a new political culture," and said, "As a young worker, I will bring a youthful perspective to Haeryong and do my best to reflect the voices of Jeonnam's youth in the provincial administration."



Meanwhile, during his tenure in the Suncheon City Council, Candidate Park proposed various ordinances related to local youth, such as the 'Ordinance on Fostering and Supporting Youth Enterprises in Suncheon' and the 'Ordinance on Employment Support for High School Graduates in Suncheon.' He served as vice-chairman of the Operations Committee and chairman of the Special Committee on Youth Employment Support in the Suncheon City Council.
