On the afternoon of the 2nd, one day before the 9th nationwide local elections main vote, candidate Jeong held a full-force victory rally at Cheonggye Square in Jung-gu, Seoul.


First, candidate Jeong emphasized the mayor's role in safeguarding the safety of Seoul citizens. He stated, "Protecting lives safely is the most important and fundamental duty," and pledged, "Just as I created a safe Seongdong-gu, Seoul will now become the safest city."


Addressing Oh Sehoon, the People Power Party candidate, he said, "Candidate Oh is someone who should learn from President Lee, not someone to hinder him," adding, "I hope he reflects and understands why the people love and cherish President Lee."


He further stated, "If candidate Oh had kept his promises, there would be no current housing and economic crises," and emphasized, "A candidate who does not keep promises should be replaced." Jeong highlighted, "I transformed the old industrial area of Seongsu-dong into a world-renowned hotspot and nearly doubled the number of businesses in Seongsu-dong over the past decade, revitalizing the Seongdong economy," and pledged, "With my proven capabilities, I will revive Seoul's economy."


Even before the official start time of 7 p.m., Cheonggye Square was awash in blue waves. Supporters dressed in blue and holding blue balloons filled the plaza. Among those holding placards reading slogans like 'New Era' and 'Overwhelming Victory,' there were also people wearing union vests from groups such as the Seoul City Bus Union and the Construction Workers Union.


Office workers who paused on their way home and citizens who came out for a stroll with their children joined the rally crowd, filling even the opposite side of Cheonggye Square.

Jeong Cheongrae, the Democratic Party leader who joined to support the rally, emphasized that this election has three main features: ▲ strengthening President Lee's leadership ▲ achieving complete liquidation of the remnants of rebellion ▲ electing competent local Democratic Party officials. He appealed, "If both the president and the Seoul mayor are from the Democratic Party, and if the heads of Jongno-gu and Jung-gu are also from the Democratic Party, won't everything work together seamlessly? If you want to see President Lee and candidate Jeong together at the cabinet meeting, please vote for us."


Senior campaign committee chairman Lee Inyoung and lawmakers Park Joomin, Kim Hyungnam, Kim Youngbae, and Seo Youngkyo also attended to lend their support to candidate Jeong.


Citizens who had sent civil complaint messages to candidate Jeong's mobile number also appeared on stage to deliver support speeches. In addition, novelists, actors, professors, and sports stars came on stage to show their support for candidate Jeong.



After the main rally, candidate Jeong is scheduled to meet citizens at the food alley in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, and at Cheonho Rodeo Street in Gangdong-gu. He will then encourage late-night bus drivers at Songpa Public Bus Garage in Songpa-gu, and plans to conclude his campaign by sharing brief remarks at Bokjeong Station Transfer Center at around 11:40 p.m., about ten minutes before the end of the campaign period.
