[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Kim Dong-yeon, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, revisited the Noryangjin Cupbap Street in Seoul, where he campaigned as a presidential candidate a year ago, stating, "I will always remember my original intention and keep moving forward."

On the 19th, Governor Kim shared on his social media (SNS), "During my presidential campaign, I traveled across the country without a single campaign vehicle," adding, "I used my sneakers as my campaign vehicle and met many citizens while using public transportation."

He continued, "At that time, I did 'plogging,' which is also called 'jupging'?picking up trash while jogging or walking?in Noryangjin. After plogging, I had meals with examinees at the Noryangjin Cupbap Street," and said, "Last Friday, after a meeting with metropolitan area heads at Nodeul Island, I visited that Cupbap restaurant in Noryangjin again, and the owner warmly welcomed me back."

He added, "Although it was a year ago, the owner even remembered the menu my wife and I had. It brought back many emotions," and recalled, "I remembered the time when I ate cupbap on the street and shouted, 'My sneakers are my campaign vehicle.'"

He then promised, "I will not forget those who remember and support me from those days," and pledged, "I will always remember my original intention and steadily walk the path."
