These groups have visited Park’s campaign office to express their support and to actively submit policy proposals for a new leap forward in Pohang.

On May 11, about 20 people, including Song Jihong, head of the Pohang Buk-gu branch of the Korea Association of Realtors, visited the campaign office and held a meeting with the candidate.

At the meeting, participants emphasized, “Pohang is currently at a critical juncture,” and added, “We hope that candidate Park Yongseon, whose administrative ability and drive have been proven through years of legislative service, will resolve long-standing local issues and revitalize the economy.”

On the same day, members of the Pohang Youth Association (led by President Kim Chiho) also visited the campaign office to show their support.

The Youth Association expressed, “We deeply relate to candidate Park’s pledge to promote win-win policies with local companies including POSCO,” and conveyed expectations for local economic recovery and job creation.

In addition, executives and members from a wide range of organizations—including the International Lions Club 356-E (Gyeongbuk District), Pohang Supermarket Cooperative, Pohang Funeral Service Workers Association, Korea Home Care Long-Term Service Association Pohang Branch, Gyeongbuk Welfare Facilities for the Disabled Association, Gyeongbuk Flying Disc Golf Association, Pohang Hapkido Association, and Pohang Senior Citizens Association—continued their visits of encouragement, demonstrating a show of strength.

In response, Park Yongseon personally expressed gratitude to each supporter.

Park stated, “The support and encouragement from all sectors is not just a cheer for Park Yongseon as an individual, but a solemn mandate from Pohang citizens who yearn for change,” and promised, “Based on the valuable opinions received on site, I will implement policies that bring real benefits to citizens’ lives.”

Local political circles analyze that these consecutive visits are a testament to Park’s broad public recognition and trust.

In particular, as support is rallying not just from a specific generation, but across a wide age range from youth to seniors, it is expected that even greater attention will be focused on Park’s future moves.
