Lee Su-jeong, the first recruited talent of the Democratic Party, registers as a preliminary candidate for Suwon-jeong, Gyeonggi

Official Candidacy Announcement on the 13th

Lee Soo-jung, a professor in the Department of Criminal Psychology at Kyonggi University and one of the top recruitment talents for the People Power Party's general election, has officially declared her candidacy for Suwon-jeong, Gyeonggi Province.

On the 13th, Professor Lee visited the Yeongtong District Election Commission in Suwon City, Gyeonggi Province, and completed her preliminary candidate registration. At this event, she stated, "The reason I ultimately had no choice but to run is because laws and systems are vulnerable in protecting the weak," adding, "I will represent the vulnerable who find it difficult to voice their concerns, such as infants, minors, and women involved in sex work."

She continued, "The most extreme case that led me to run was the issue of unregistered births of infants that surfaced this year," explaining, "About 9,000 infants have disappeared over the past decade. Excluding approximately 4,000 infants born to foreign couples who do not require birth registration, the remaining infants have either been illegally traded, subjected to abuse crimes, or have simply vanished, which is a serious problem."

Regarding the Suwon-jeong constituency where she announced her candidacy, she mentioned, "It is an area divided into new and old towns. We need to address the depopulation issues in the old town and solve transportation problems for residents commuting to Seoul. Additionally, institutional improvements for child-rearing must be achieved due to the population composition with many young couples."

Professor Lee has been serving at Kyonggi University located in Suwon for over 20 years. The Suwon-jeong constituency includes Yeongtong-dong, Maetan-dong, Woncheon-dong, and Gwanggyo-dong in Yeongtong District, Suwon.
