Han Donghoon Appeals for "Unification of Public Sentiment Through Voting"... Respects Former President Park's Visit to Busan

"Political Engineering Unification Is Over"

Conservative Candidates Intensify Their Confrontation

Han Donghoon, an independent candidate running in the Busan Buk-gu Gap by-election for the National Assembly, appealed for support on the 27th, saying, "I ask you to consolidate your votes for Han Donghoon in Buk-gu Gap."

Although the deadline for unification before the early voting ballot papers are printed is just one day away, the possibility of unification between Han and Park Minsik has become virtually nonexistent. At a campaign event that day, Han stated, "Since Park has declared that he will not pursue unification, the political maneuvering for unification is over."

As the election enters its final phase, the level of confrontation between the two camps is intensifying. Han criticized Park, saying, "He is the person who took the lead in making Yoon Suk-yeol, who had sought a 30-year prison sentence for former President Park Geun-hye, the president," and added, "It makes no sense for Park, who advocated for 'Yoon Again,' to talk about conservative credentials."

Earlier, Park appeared on Channel A radio and sharply criticized Han, saying, "Han is the one who drove a nail into the hearts of conservative supporters by seeking a prison sentence for former President Park, who is both a symbol of conservatism and the president," and called Han "a Trojan horse dividing the conservative camp."

Regarding former President Park's visit to the Gijang Market in Busan, Han stated, "I respect former President Park's character and life," and added, "I also respect her judgment in visiting Busan."

On that day, former President Park visited the Busan, Ulsan, and South Gyeongsang (PK) regions to campaign in support of the People Power Party candidate. She visited several places, including Jinju Central Market in South Gyeongsang, Sinjeong Market in Nam-gu, Ulsan, and Gijang Market in Gijang-gun, Busan, in succession. Park, the People Power Party candidate, also accompanied her to the Gijang Market event.
