The "Citizen Campaign Group" is an open platform for anyone to participate in campaign activities and publicly support Lee Jaemyung, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, including farmers, those in culture and the arts, women, youth, parents, high school student voters, and local volunteer organizations.

The first campaign event in Haenam on this day included participants such as Lee Mujin, head of the Haenam Farmers' Association; Kim Wankyu, former president of the Haenam Federation of Artistic and Cultural Organizations; Kim Jangsik, current president of the Haenam Federation of Artistic and Cultural Organizations; Lee Youngja, former president of the Haenam Parents' Association; and Seo Yeon, former director of planning at Haenam County Office.

They appealed for support for Lee Jaemyung, stating, "The power to usher in the era of national sovereignty declared by candidate Lee Jaemyung and to accelerate regional development ultimately comes from citizens' voluntary participation in voting."

Local political figures commented, "The people of Haenam, Wando, and Jindo have gained a strong sense of political pride thanks to the national activities of Representative Park Jiwon, who serves as co-chair of the central election campaign committee," adding, "The launch of the Citizen Campaign Group is expected to serve as an opportunity to elevate the region's political culture."
