Handonghun Launches Intensive Campaign in Seoul Metropolitan Area: "The Atmosphere Is Changing"

Campaigning Around Incheon Gyeyang and Others
Attacking Lee Jae-myung by Mentioning Insults and More

The People Power Party launched an all-out campaign in the Seoul metropolitan area, including Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi, on the first official weekend of election campaigning for the April general election. Han Dong-hoon, the emergency committee chairman of the People Power Party, visited tough constituencies, including Incheon Gyeyang-gu, the district of Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, and launched a focused offensive.

On that morning in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, Chairman Han said, "I think there are many parts of the People Power Party that the public is not satisfied with," but added, "However, we have changed into a party that struggles to respond and correct whenever you point out issues." He continued, "I will change everything according to your will." He implied that he personally steps in to resolve controversies such as those involving Hwang Sang-moo and Lee Jong-seop.

He also claimed that the election atmosphere, which seemed to be leaning toward the opposition, is changing. Chairman Han said, "Don't you feel that the mood is shifting, and our will and determination are gathering like a strong current?" He urged, "Whether early voting or the main vote, go out and vote looking only at the 'People' and 'Number 2'."

He directly targeted Lee Jae-myung and recently Kim Jun-hyuk, the Democratic Party candidate for Suwon Jeong in Gyeonggi, over their controversial remarks about comfort women. "Listen to the trashy words Lee said," he said, "Listen to what Lee said to his sister-in-law." He added, "The trashy words of Kim Jun-hyuk and Lee Jae-myung?that is the philosophy they will implement in politics when they seize power, ruling over you," and asked, "Will you let the stories about elementary school comfort women and the sister-in-law fill your mind and control you?"

He continued his offensive against the Innovation Party for Justice. Chairman Han mentioned that Park Eun-jung, the number one proportional representative candidate of the Innovation Party for Justice, has a spouse who defended a multi-level marketing fraud company, saying, "Until they are judged, we will persistently raise issues on your behalf and work to resolve them."

Chairman Han also revisited Incheon Gyeyang-gu, Lee Jae-myung’s constituency, that day. He said, "The battle in Gyeyang is the battle for Korea," and added, "But is it really a contest between someone who wants to remove criminals from politics and someone who wants to be elected to avoid going to prison?"
