"Experience and Proven Leadership,
the Best Fit for Normalizing Busan Education"

Kim Seok-jun, a preliminary candidate who has announced his candidacy for the Busan Superintendent of Education by-election, has secured the support of over 1,000 parents.

Kim’s campaign team announced that on the 27th at 11 a.m., more than 1,000 Busan parents gathered at Kim Seok-jun’s campaign office to declare their support for the candidate.

The parents who declared their support that day numbered around 1,000, including about 20 attendees present at the event.

They emphasized, “To quickly normalize Busan education, verified leadership capable of immediately performing duties is necessary,” and added, “Kim, a proven re-elected superintendent, is the best candidate.”

They also stated, “This election is not just a simple superintendent election but an important election to stabilize Busan education, which is in crisis, as soon as possible and to ensure our children can grow in a stable educational environment,” and pledged, “We will stand together until the end for Kim Seok-jun’s victory.”

The parents collectively expressed concern, saying, “There is great worry as policies are drifting due to the absence of a leader to guide Busan education,” and “An experienced and capable superintendent is absolutely necessary for Busan education to stabilize quickly and move toward future education.”

They also explained their reasons for support, stating, “Considering that Kim Seok-jun has served as superintendent for the past eight years, working to expand public education opportunities and reduce educational disparities, we believe he is the right person to create a fair education system where our children can grow based on their own abilities and efforts rather than their parents’ economic circumstances.”

The ‘Busan-type educational welfare’ pledges announced by Kim at a press conference on the 25th?including full support for private kindergarten tuition, 300,000 won support for elementary school entrance preparation expenses, and transportation cost support for middle and high school attendance?have further raised parents’ expectations.

One parent said, “I sympathize with Kim Seok-jun’s pledges that guarantee children can receive non-discriminatory education regardless of their economic situation.”

On the 27th, Kim Seok-jun, a preliminary candidate for the Busan Superintendent of Education by-election, is making finger hearts with parents who declared their support for him.
