[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The campaign of Kim Sang-kwon, candidate for Gyeongnam Superintendent of Education, demanded a clear stance from candidate Park Jong-hoon.

On the 12th, Kim Sang-kwon's campaign criticized Park Jong-hoon's camp for filing a provisional injunction to stop the use of the term "moderate-conservative unified candidate," calling it a false statement, and urged them to participate in the election confidently.

Kim's camp stated, "On March 8, the pledge for unification of moderate-conservative Gyeongnam Superintendent of Education candidates was signed by the representative of the unification promotion council, along with the signatures and seals of preliminary candidates Kim Myung-yong, Kim Sang-kwon, Choi Hae-beom, and Heo Gi-do who participated in the primary," adding, "This fact was announced to the people of Gyeongnam through the media."

They criticized the move as a "petty act," suggesting it was an attempt to obstruct when an unfavorable environment was created for candidate Park in this election, and pointed out, "When emphasizing progressive superintendents of education, where was this attitude? Now, depending on convenience, you have become a chameleon who changes ideology and philosophy."

They added that it appears to be a betrayal of the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union (KTU) and progressive civic groups who declared support in the previous election.

"Gyeongnam education has collapsed over the past eight years due to a left-wing superintendent from the KTU, teachers' authority has fallen to the ground, and the character of the children is worrisome," emphasizing, "We cannot entrust Gyeongnam education to someone with an unclear identity."
