The 'Gangwon is Special Election Campaign Committee Launch Ceremony and Nominee Conference' was held in the auditorium on the third floor that day. The event was attended by General Election Campaign Committee Chairperson Cheolkyu Lee, nominated candidates, party members, and hundreds of supporters, creating a united atmosphere aimed at victory in the election.

Eon-Seok Song, the Floor Leader, who took part in the campaign rally, highly praised candidate Jintae Kim's achievements with the Gangwon Special Act. Floor Leader Song said, "When the Gangwon Special Act was first established, it was special in name only," adding, "Governor Jintae Kim repeatedly visited the National Assembly and even shaved his head, ultimately making it a true special act."

He then targeted Democratic Party candidate Sangho Woo, criticizing his insufficient understanding of local issues in Gangwon. Song pointed out, "While the Hongje Water Purification Plant faced a serious crisis due to drought, he was only talking about craft beer," and emphasized, "A candidate must truly understand and address the lives and issues of Gangwon residents."

Next, Assemblywoman Kyungwon Na also took the podium, stressing the importance of the Gangwon region and expressing confidence in a decisive victory.

Assemblywoman Na stated at the event, "Elections are about momentum, and I can sense a strong momentum to win here today," emphasizing, "Gangwon Province is an important base for the People Power Party and has been at the center of protecting the Republic of Korea." She went on to say, "We must stop the Democratic Party's runaway behavior in this election," appealing to rally the party's supporters.

Supreme Council Member Dongwook Shin also continued the offensive by highlighting candidate Sangho Woo's lack of understanding of the region. Supreme Council Member Shin said, "Last year, when the President visited Gangneung, he harshly rebuked the mayor, but now the candidate for governor doesn't even know where Hongje-dong is and is talking about beer," adding, "Candidate Woo is not from Gangwon Province and seems to know even less about Gangwon than I do."

He also mentioned Seyoung Yoon, founder of SBS and a Cheorwon native who once served as president of the Gangwon Residents' Association, saying, "Gangwon people, especially those from Cheorwon, are true patriots, but candidate Woo doesn't seem to be. Please, protect Gangwon Province, the land of patriots."

Finally, candidate Jintae Kim took the podium, expressing gratitude for the party leadership's support and displaying confidence.

Kim stated, "There is no reason to lose to a candidate who neither knows Gangwon Province well nor has any affection for it. I will focus solely on the development of Gangwon and the well-being of its residents."

He continued, "All the opposing candidate can claim is that he is 'the person sent by the President.' I am determined to win for the advancement of Gangwon Province." The hall was filled with applause and cheers every time Kim spoke.
