Eon-Seok Song, Floor Leader of the People Power Party and Co-Chairman of the Joint Election Countermeasures Committee, visited Buyeo County in South Chungcheong Province on May 20 to support candidate Yongkeun Yoon, a native of the region running in the parliamentary by-election for Gongju·Buyeo·Cheongyang. Song also commented on the allegations surrounding Democratic Party candidates Wonoh Jeong, Jungwoo Ha, and Sangwook Kim, stating that there are "many problems" and describing the situation as "serious."

That morning, Song visited the campaign office of Yongwoo Lee, a candidate for Buyeo County Governor, and accompanied candidate Yongkeun Yoon on his schedule. The party's parliamentary leadership, including Sangbeom Yoo, Senior Deputy Floor Leader for Operations, and Sujin Choi, Senior Spokesperson, joined the visit.

Song stated, "The issue of communal land involves the property rights of many people, making the interests extremely complicated. It's not easy to resolve, but attorney Yongkeun Yoon was the outstanding lawyer who resolved it cleanly." He continued, "That is why those who have delivered excellent results and performed their work admirably should step forward to lead the region, as only then can we accelerate local development," urging support for candidate Yoon.

Song added, "Yongwoo Lee, candidate for Buyeo County Governor, is already well-known as a regionally recognized community worker. He is someone who has always looked after the area." He explained, "If candidate Yoon and candidate Lee work together as a team to lead the region, I believe local development will be accelerated even further."

Song also remarked, "This morning, I read several news articles, and the candidates from the other party truly have many problems," aiming criticism at the rival party's candidates in this competitive constituency. Regarding the allegations about Jungwoo Ha, who is running in the Busan Buk-gap by-election and has been questioned over his stock holdings, Song commented, "It's difficult to say much as the facts have yet to be established, but I feel the situation is quite serious."

Regarding the allegations surrounding Wonoh Jeong, candidate for Seoul Mayor, Song stated, "If it were the same situation, even an ordinary Grade 9 public servant would be disciplined and dismissed. I really cannot understand how someone like that can shamelessly run to become the mayor of the capital city of Korea." As for Sangwook Kim, candidate for Ulsan Mayor, Song said, "If I were to talk about the allegations, I feel it would dirty my mouth, so I won't say more."

Meanwhile, Song toured the local five-day Buyeo Market with candidates Yoon and Lee and then visited the Buyeo County Senior Welfare Center to meet with local residents. In the afternoon, he plans to visit the protest site of Hyangja Yang, a candidate for Gyeonggi Province Governor who is on a hunger strike in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province, and support candidate Uidong Yoo in the parliamentary by-election for Pyeongtaek-eul.
