Noh Gwan-gyu, Trust Us for Suncheon’s Rebound and Leap Forward

At the Vision Declaration Ceremony: "From Conflict to Harmony!", "Towards a First-Class Suncheon, the Central City of Korea!"

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Candidate Noh Gwan-gyu declared his independent candidacy at a press conference held at Nammunteo Plaza on the morning of the 10th.

The press conference began with Candidate Noh prostrating himself on the ground and performing a deep bow as an apology for leaving the party, political immaturity such as mid-term withdrawal, and finally as an appeal to the citizens.

Candidate Noh stated, “I have no choice but to temporarily leave the party and challenge the Suncheon mayoral election as an independent in response to the unfair nomination by Assemblyman So Byeong-cheol.”

Regarding this Democratic Party nominee, Candidate Noh criticized, “Although I have been involved in politics for a long time, this person was disqualified for nomination according to the Democratic Party’s party rules,” and claimed, “All this political division and confusion today is ultimately the heavy responsibility of So Byeong-cheol, the regional committee chairman in charge of the local committee.”

Candidate Noh Gwan-gyu said, “The citizens have opened the path for me as a citizen candidate to correct this unfairness,” adding, “This election will be an election to restore fairness,” and appealed to the citizens of Suncheon, calling it “a shameless act that mocks the citizens’ right to choose and wounds their pride.”

He continued, “But from this moment on, please judge only who can work better for Suncheon,” presenting a differentiated personal argument.

After the independent candidacy press conference, at the vision declaration ceremony held at the same place, Candidate Noh presented the slogan, “Beyond conflict to harmony! Now Suncheon will become a first-class city at the center of South Korea, beyond Jeollanam-do!”

In particular, he pledged to “create the entire block in front of City Hall in the old downtown as Suncheon Citizen Plaza, connecting it with Okcheon and creating a cultural space comparable to the Seine River in France,” and “make Jungang-ro an underpass to turn it into Suncheon’s Champs-?lys?es, redevelop Jungang Market to restore the true appearance of Okcheon, and transform it into a street of open-air cafes with the world’s best night view.” He also expressed his ambition to “attract Starfield to the Shindae district to create a cultural complex shopping space covering the eastern Jeonnam and western Gyeongnam regions.”

Additionally, he pledged to “build a National Sports Park in Yeonhyangtteul comparable to the Jincheon National Representative Athlete Village, making it a famous spot for winter training, creating youth jobs, and revitalizing the local economy.”

Finally, Candidate Noh Gwan-gyu appealed for support, saying, “I now clearly understand the talents given to me. If you give me one last chance, I want to start anew with that passion.”
