Yonggap Park Announces Candidacy for Chair of the Democratic Party Daejeon Committee
"I Will Secure Government Funding Through Close Communication with Mayor Heo Tae-jung"
Yonggap Park, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea (representing Jung-gu, Daejeon), officially announced his candidacy for the chairmanship of the Daejeon Metropolitan Party Committee of the Democratic Party on July 13.
On this day, Assemblyman Park held a press conference at the Democratic Party’s Daejeon Metropolitan office, stating, “Discussions on administrative integration between Daejeon and Chungnam have stalled, the relocation of public institutions remains uncertain, and as competition continues to attract future industries such as those related to the 5th National Rail Network Construction Plan, semiconductors, robotics, and aerospace, Daejeon now stands at the starting line of a new era of competition. If we fall behind even once, other regions will seize the opportunity, and if we let it slip, it will be difficult to get another chance. I will become a Daejeon Metropolitan Party Committee chair who can effectively voice Daejeon's interests and secure government funding.”
Emphasizing his position as a member of the National Assembly’s Special Committee on Budget and Accounts, Assemblyman Park pledged to work closely with Daejeon Mayor Heo Tae-jung, as well as with the party and administration, to ensure Daejeon's interests are fully represented. He highlighted the following priorities: extension of the Chungcheong Metropolitan Express Railway (CTX) to Seodaejeon Station; increased KTX train service between Seodaejeon Station and Gangnam Suseo Station; and construction of a cancer hospital at Chungnam National University Hospital.
