[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Five civic groups in the Gyeongnam region have expressed their support for Kim Sang-kwon, the moderate-conservative unified candidate for Gyeongnam Superintendent of Education.

Barun Value Protection Coalition, Mahanahim Presbyterian Church, Gyeongnam Future Citizens' Coalition, Gyeongnam Future Education Coalition, and FX Gyeongnam Parents' Coalition announced their support on the 3rd at Changwon Segwang Church in Gyeongnam.

The organizations, consisting of about 5,000 members, claimed, "Only candidate Kim Sang-kwon can restore the collapsing Gyeongnam education system."

They said, "We must empower candidate Kim Sang-kwon to end the era of the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union (KTU) and progressive superintendents," and "We will actively support Kim's election."

They explained their support by saying, "Having served in the teaching profession for 37 years, he has been a model for excellent talent development and teachers," and "Now, we must unite our strength to reclaim the lost eight years of Gyeongnam education."

Candidate Kim Sang-kwon was selected as the unified candidate through a primary against former Changwon University President Choi Haebum, former Gyeongnam Provincial Council Chairman Heo Gido, and Changwon University Professor Kim Myung-yong, and will face the progressive camp's candidate Park Jong-hoon in the nationwide local elections in June.
