Former Minister of SMEs and Startups Park Young-sun, who announced that he would not run for Seoul mayor in the national local election on June 1, asked supporters for their understanding of the decision not to run, saying, "I had no choice but to make this decision now."
Former Minister Park said on his SNS on the evening of the 23rd, "I was worried about it with a sorry heart."
Former Minister Park said, "When I saw the skinny body of my mother who made me decide to 'I have to protect my mother' for the first time in my life, I never stopped walking." He added, "I bow my head to the citizens of Seoul. I did.
Former Minister Park said, "I sincerely hope that a new and big chapter will open that will reverse the shock of the presidential election."
Earlier, yesterday, former Minister Park posted a picture on social media taking care of her mother who is battling a disease, saying, "It is very difficult to give an answer to this right now."
The Democratic Party's Emergency Response Committee again asked former Minister Park to participate in the primary until it postponed the confirmation of the candidates for the Seoul mayor primary, but Park ultimately refused to run.
