Handonghun: "I Will Win and Crush the Democratic Party's Tyranny"

"If I win, the Lee Jaemyung administration won't even consider canceling indictments"
"Winning is fulfilling our historic duty"

Han Donghoon, an independent candidate running in the Busan Bukgap by-election for the National Assembly, stated on May 17, "I will achieve victory, wear the National Assembly badge, and put an end to the tyranny and outrageous actions of the Democratic Party of Korea, such as the dismissal of indictments."

At the campaign committee inauguration ceremony held at his camp that afternoon, Han said, "We must stop those who destroy the Constitution and seek to dismiss indictments to erase their own crimes. If I win the Bukgap by-election, the Lee Jaemyung administration won't even dare to consider such things as dismissing indictments."

He continued, "Over the past 20 years, while Park Minsik of the People Power Party and Jeon Jaesoo, the Democratic Party candidate for Busan mayor, served as National Assembly members, the Buk-gu district did not experience any development. In just one month since I arrived in Bukgap, the atmosphere in the area has already changed—it is bustling, and both people and money are gathering here," he emphasized.

Han also said, "If we do not win, the Democratic Party and the Lee Jaemyung administration will dismiss indictments to erase their own crimes, and Busan Bukgap will remain stagnant at the same level as the past 20 years. Far from rebuilding the conservative camp, the regressive Dang Donghyuk faction will persist, and conservatism will be mocked and forced out," he added.

He went on to say, "Winning the Bukgap by-election is fulfilling a historic responsibility, and if we lose, it will be a crime against history. I am determined to fight as if my life depends on it," he said.
