Choo Mi-ae, the Democratic Party's candidate for Gyeonggi governor, urged voters to judge "insurrection forces" during her campaign kickoff on May 21. She emphasized that she is not a candidate who has taken the easy path.
At a rally near Seohyeon Station, Choo stated, "The People Power Party still acts as the bodyguard for Yoon Suk Yeol, bowing to him even while he is in prison. The 'Yoon Again' forces are dreaming of a revival." She continued, "As the judiciary delays judgment on these insurrection forces, I ask voters to deliver a stern verdict through their ballots for the normalization of South Korea."
Choo referenced her time as Minister of Justice, when she pushed for the separation of investigation and prosecution, saying, "At that time, the media portrayed me as someone who was destroying common sense, but ultimately, I completed judicial reform alongside Representative Jeong Cheong-rae. Given this, you can trust me to handle Gyeonggi's pressing administrative issues."
She expressed confidence, saying, "I know how to win. Together with you, I will return victoriously and open a new future for Gyeonggi."
Additionally, she remarked, "Watch for the 'Suwon-Yongin-Sungnam' I am creating," highlighting that Seongnam is a central city in the K-semiconductor cluster. She described the 'Suwon-Yongin-Sungnam' as a semiconductor industry belt connecting Suwon, Yongin, Seongnam, Hwaseong, Pyeongtaek, Osan, and Icheon.
Also present at the rally were Representative Jeong and Kim Byeong-wook, the candidate for Seongnam mayor.
