At 3 p.m. on April 16, candidate Jang Je-hwan made a surprise visit to Min Kyung-sun's campaign headquarters to formally declare his support. During the event, Jang stated, "I have decided to support Min Kyung-sun because I believe he is the only candidate fully equipped with the policy capabilities and urban management skills required to serve as Goyang mayor."


Jang further emphasized, "This is not just a simple declaration of support. Together with my supporters who have trusted and encouraged me, I will dedicate all my efforts to ensure Min Kyung-sun achieves a decisive victory in the final round," expressing his strong commitment to supporting the campaign.


Min Kyung-sun, in response, described Jang Je-hwan's decision to join as the "final step toward unity," and expressed his deep gratitude. Min remarked, "Jang Je-hwan's support completes the great movement of Democratic Party primary candidates coming together as one," highlighting the significance of this unification.


Min also emphasized, "I will prove the strength of this united momentum, built upon the valuable intentions of my fellow candidates, by securing victory in the final round. I am fully committed to dedicating myself to building a city where Goyang citizens can live happily and prosperously."


With Jang Je-hwan's declaration of support following those made earlier in the day, five out of the six preliminary candidates who participated in the Democratic Party's Goyang mayoral primary have now rallied around Min Kyung-sun, forming a "mega one team" alliance.



Local political observers note, "With all the Democratic Party's preliminary candidates supporting Min Kyung-sun ahead of the final vote (scheduled for April 19-20), the balance of the primary has effectively tipped in his favor." The Min Kyung-sun campaign plans to capitalize on this momentum and intensify efforts to consolidate support through the start of the final vote on April 19.
