Former President Park Geun-hye has been stepping up her activities to rally conservative support ahead of the June 3 local elections.

Beginning on the 23rd, Park campaigned for Choo Kyung-ho, the People Power Party candidate for Daegu mayor, at Chilseong Market in Daegu. On the 25th, she visited her mother Yuk Young-soo's birthplace in Okcheon, North Chungcheong Province, and then met consecutively with Lee Jangwoo, the People Power Party candidate for Daejeon mayor, and Kim Tae-heum, the People Power Party candidate for South Chungcheong governor, delivering messages aimed at consolidating conservative support for victory.

At 11 a.m. that day, Park arrived at Yuk Young-soo's birthplace in Okcheon, signed the guestbook, laid flowers at the memorial, and observed a moment of silence. She then toured the main house and the detached quarters, reflecting on Yuk Young-soo's patriotism and dedication to the people.

Park stated, "If candidates fulfill the promises they have made, the people will recognize and support them. I believe that both Kim Young-hwan, the People Power Party candidate for North Chungcheong governor, and Jeon Sang-in, the People Power Party candidate for Okcheon county magistrate, are people who can be trusted in this way," thus offering her support.

Later, after moving to Daejeon, Park visited Lee Jangwoo's campaign office at 2:30 p.m. and said, "Candidate Lee Jangwoo is a true comrade with whom I have shared many years. No matter how difficult things become, he remains unwavering and loyal."

She continued, "I believe the citizens of Daejeon are well aware of his genuine character. I hope once again that he will achieve good results so that he can continue to serve the citizens."

In the afternoon, Park visited Sanseong Market in Gongju to campaign in support of Kim Tae-heum, the People Power Party candidate for South Chungcheong governor.

Park commented, "I believe candidate Kim Tae-heum has been working diligently and quietly for the future of South Chungcheong Province," delivering a message of encouragement.

Park's recent activities, including her announced visits to Busan, Ulsan, South Gyeongsang, and Gangwon this week, are being interpreted as a full-scale campaign to support the consolidation of conservative voters.
