Hwang Gyo-an, the representative of the Korean Party, held a press conference yesterday (7th) and declared 'can run Jongno'.
[Hwanggyoan / Free Korean Party Representative: We will make proud Jongno into 1 incompetent regime referee and 1 corrupt regime referee.]

The decision was made more than a month after professing to run for the Seoul metropolitan area early last month.

The decision to avoid confrontation with former prime minister Lee Nak-yeon, who had already cast the vote, seems to judge that it is difficult to draw time anymore after criticizing both inside and outside the party.

Former Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon, who waited on the ring for the first time, responded with just one sentence: "We look forward to a good competition for the future of Jongno and Korea."

In the general elections, Jongno-gu played the role of 'political No. 1' for big politicians.

Including Roh Moo-hyun, former President Lee Myung-bak, and former President Yoon Bo-sun, there are three former presidents from the Jongno National Assembly.

Again, the big match between the first Prime Minister Moon Jae-in and the last Prime Minister Park Geun-hye and the two leading politicians, Lee Nak-yeon and Hwang Gyo-an, will also affect the national election and the next presidential power.
