Lee Jae-myung and Kim Boo-kyum Campaign Jointly in Cheonan and Asan

Lee Jae-myung: "Democratic Party Must Exceed Majority to Prevent Government Tyranny"
Kim Boo-kyum Holds Meeting with Merchants at Cheonan Jungang Market

Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Kim Boo-kyum, co-chairman of the joint campaign committee, visited Cheonan and Asan in Chungnam side by side on the 22nd to conduct joint support rallies.

The two co-chairmen held support rallies mainly at traditional markets along with local candidates, appealing for support for the candidates. The reason they visited two cities on the same day is because Cheonan and Asan hold 5 out of the 11 National Assembly seats in the Chungnam region, and this is interpreted as a strategic move to expand the Democratic Party's support throughout Chungnam using this area as a foothold.

On the day, Co-chairman Lee Jae-myung appealed for support at Onyang Oncheon Market and Onyang Oncheon Station Plaza together with candidates Bok Ki-wang and Kang Hoon-sik.

Lee praised, “Candidate Kang Hoon-sik is a mainstay of the Democratic Party and must be firmly supported, and candidate Bok Ki-wang is a friend with whom I served as mayor and a proven person who managed local government well.”

He continued, “Democracy and economic growth in this land are collapsing overnight,” and raised his voice, “You have directly experienced the failures of the Yoon administration over the past two years, so please make sure to judge them in this general election.”

He also continued his criticism of economic policies.

He said, “Is this a country where you have to work an hour at a part-time job to buy an apple that costs 10,000 won?” and “They say customized green onions priced at 875 won per bundle are reasonable, but if you see green onions priced at 875 won in the market, shouldn’t you say this is strange?”

He then appealed, “For protecting your lives and South Korea, the Democratic Party must become the first party,” adding, “Having a majority is necessary to make decisions quickly and push legislation strongly to systematically block the government’s tyranny.”

Democratic Party's Kim Boo-kyum, Co-Chairman of the Standing Joint Election Committee, visited Cheonan Central Market on the 22nd to appeal for support for local candidates.

On the same day, Kim Boo-kyum, co-chairman of the joint campaign committee, visited Cheonan Central Market merchants’ association with Cheonan candidates Moon Jin-seok, Lee Jae-gwan, and Lee Jung-moon to listen to voices for improving traditional markets.

The merchants’ association said, “The most urgent issues are the lack of restrooms and parking lots,” and requested, “Accessibility and convenience must be improved quickly to revitalize the market.” They also expressed difficulties, saying, “In the long term, the overall aging facilities of the market need comprehensive improvement, but it is impossible with the market’s own budget.”

Chairman Kim said, “Since Representative Moon Jin-seok and Representative Lee Jung-moon have done a lot in their respective positions, if elected this time, they should work hard to solve the market’s current issues,” and added, “Candidate Lee Jae-gwan has also done a lot in central government agencies, so I hope he will communicate well with central government agencies, Chungnam Province, and Cheonan City to resolve these issues.”
