[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Hwang Kyo-ahn, former leader of the United Future Party and a candidate for the next leader of the People Power Party, stated on the 4th, "If I become the party leader, I will run in a difficult district, whether it is in Seoul or Gyeonggi Province."

On the same day, Hwang said on Facebook, "These days, candidates for the People Power Party leadership are sharpening their words daily, arguing about the 'party leader running in the metropolitan area' theory."

He ran as the United Future Party candidate for Jongno, Seoul, in the 21st general election but lost to Lee Nak-yeon, then the Democratic Party candidate.

Hwang said, "Saying that it won't work this time because it didn't work before shows a lack of spirit of challenge," adding, "Having run in a difficult district, I clearly understood what the problems were."

He also said, "Now, even if I run again, I will never lose."
