On May 21, Jeong Cheong-rae, the head of the Democratic Party's election campaign committee, visited Seongnam to support Gyeonggi governor candidate Choo Mi-ae and Seongnam mayor candidate Kim Byeong-wook. He urged voters to create a cleanup lineup in Gyeonggi alongside President Lee Jae-myung, emphasizing that the country can only achieve normalization by eliminating insurrectionist forces.
Speaking near Seohyeon Station, Jeong stated, "The Gyeonggi governor and Seongnam mayor must be from the Democratic Party, working seamlessly together like cogs in a machine with the president."
He added, "The insurrection is still ongoing," criticizing the People Power Party by asking, "Is this a nomination for insurrection or an insurrection for nomination?" He described the upcoming election as a decisive moment to drive the 'Yoon Again' forces out of South Korea, asserting that this is essential for the country's normalization.
Jeong pledged that the Democratic Party would continue to robustly support the Lee Jae-myung administration and ensure that the needs of Gyeonggi residents and Seongnam citizens are met through legal and institutional support.
In response, Choo stated, "I will work with you to open a proud future for Gyeonggi Province." Kim also expressed his ambition to become an effective mayor of Seongnam, working alongside the Lee Jae-myung administration.
