The 15th general election in 1996.

Lee Jong-bak of the ruling New Korea Party and Roh Moo-hyun of the opposition United Democratic Party met in Jongno, Seoul.

[Lee Myung-bak / New Korean Party Candidate (1996 Jong-ro You): I came to this area because I wanted to develop this area with all my heart.]

[Noh Moo-hyun / Unification Democratic Party candidate (Jongno in 1996): I will be elected to regain the honor of Jongno, the “political No. 1”, and bring about a new wind in Korean politics.]

Lee Myung-bak, who won the battle, was elected president in 2007 after the mayor of Seoul. Roh Moo-hyun lost at the time, but won the Jongno By-election two years later and became president five years earlier.

If you include President Yoon Bo-sun, there are three former presidents from the Jongno National Assembly.

Under the symbol of 'Politics No. 1', it is a district where tycoons confronted their political life.

Hwang gave himself great significance for running for Jongno,

[Hwanggyo-an / Free Korean Party Representative: It is not a one-to-one competition, but a fight between the Moon Jae-in regime and that Hwanggyo-an.]

After all, it seems that the eyes of two people do not stay in Jongno alone.

[Kim Sung-wan / Critic Commentator: (Younghonam) It's an area outside the local composition. Depending on which politician is elected, the public will look to the politician and influence other local courts.]

The Jongno election is expected to have a significant impact not only on Lee Nak-yeon, Hwang Gyo-an and two big politicians, but also on the national election of the general election, and further on the next presidential election.
