On this day, former President Park arrived at the birthplace in a white jacket and black pants in the morning. A large crowd of citizens gathered at the site, chanting her name, and Park greeted them by waving and shaking hands. She also responded to requests for photographs and autographs.

Joining her on this visit were Kim Young-hwan, the People Power Party candidate for governor of North Chungcheong Province; Jeon Sang-in, candidate for Okcheon County chief; as well as lawmakers Park Deok-heum and Um Tae-young. After touring the birthplace for about 20 minutes, Park moved on with the candidates.

As she left the site, Park told reporters, "If you show trust by keeping your promises, the people will make their choice," adding, "Candidate Kim Young-hwan and Candidate Jeon Sang-in are people who can inspire such trust."

After having lunch with the candidates, Park is scheduled to travel to Daejeon to visit the campaign office of Daejeon mayoral candidate Lee Jang-woo, and later meet with citizens at Sanseong Market in Gongju, South Chungcheong Province.
