Yang Hyang-ja Declares Candidacy for Yongin Gap... "Will Establish the World's Semiconductor Capital"

Yang Hyang-ja, floor leader of the Reform New Party, announced her candidacy for Yongin Gap, Gyeonggi Province, on the 5th.

On the same day, Yang held a press conference at the National Assembly in the morning and said, "From the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province to the center of the Republic of Korea, to the world semiconductor capital, I will set Yongin straight." Yang, a semiconductor expert from Samsung Electronics, is running in Yongin Gap, which includes Cheoin-gu, where Samsung's semiconductor cluster is planned.

She stated, "As the 'Chairperson of the Republic of Korea Semiconductor Committee' crossing party lines, I was the first to design the 'K-Belt Strategy' to establish a semiconductor cluster centered on Yongin, and I led the passage of the 'K-Chips Act,' which secured 300 trillion won in investment for Yongin." She claimed, "The beginning and completion of the Yongin cluster is also Yang Hyang-ja."

As pledges, Representative Yang proposed △ operation of the Yongin semiconductor specialized complex by 2028 △ opening of highways around the semiconductor cluster △ establishment of semiconductor Meister High School, gifted high school, and autonomous private high school △ attraction of large shopping malls like Starfield.

Yang said, "In 1985, before even graduating from vocational high school, 18-year-old Yang Hyang-ja joined what was then 'Samsung Semiconductor and Telecommunications Co., Ltd.' in Yongin," adding, "I will now return the message of hope given to 18-year-old Yang Hyang-ja 40 years ago to the citizens of Yongin."

Right after the press conference, Yang told reporters, "Since the beginning of recruiting the 'K-Belt' corps, I thought Yongin, where the semiconductor cluster is located, was important," and explained, "Running symbolically in Yongin is a sense of mission."
