Jo Guk Proposes "Equal Opportunity, Social Rights, and Growth" Ahead of Party Leader Bid Announcement

Cho Kuk, former Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the National Innovation Party, has released a "candidacy announcement video" compiled from videos and messages sent by supporters ahead of his official declaration to run for party leader.

On November 9, Cho announced through a press release, "I have released a candidacy announcement video titled 'Don't Stop, Go Straight, Cho Kuk' on the YouTube channel 'Cho Kuk TV.'"

Cho's team emphasized, "The video was completed by including the footage sent by supporters as it is," adding, "We focused on representing the voices of the people, moving away from the traditional candidate-centered approach to announcing a candidacy."

In the video, Cho responds to his supporters' messages and presents his vision of "a Korea where everyone is happy and everyone is equal." He also pledges to build "an advanced nation with social rights for all," "growth for everyone," and "a world without discrimination." At one point, he raises his fist and proclaims, "Zero forces of rebellion, zero forces against the people."

Cho will hold a press conference at the National Assembly on November 10 to announce his candidacy for party leader. The National Innovation Party is scheduled to hold a national convention on November 23 to elect a new leadership, including the party leader and Supreme Council members.
