Kim Min-seok: "Have you ever dealt with economic policy?" Chung Cheong-rae: "You have a knack for disrespecting people."

Translated from Korean Read in Korean

On the eve of voting day, candidates from the Danul Democratic Party, the United Liberal Democratic Party, and the Party of the Rights of the Southern Coast, Soong Yong Gil, Jeong Cheogle, and Kim Minseok respectively, took to the stage at a televised debate in Guangzhou's Seogu District. With about 33% of the Southern Coastal voters leaning towards the rights party, these three candidates sought to prove their worth in supporting the government's "Southern Coastal (Southern Coastal) Semiconductor Cluster" policy.

Former Prime Minister Kim Dae Jung, a direct relative of Kim Minseok, emphasized the importance of stable party-political relations for the success of the semiconductor cluster project. He warned that political discord could lead to fluctuations in overall policy and loss of public support. In response, Soong Yong Gil accused Jeong Cheogle of trying to undermine the South Coastal voters with divisive remarks, calling it a "betrayal" against the Southern Coastal people.

Kim Minseok then challenged Jeong Cheogle on whether he had ever discussed economic policies with large businesses, to which Jeong Cheogle replied that he had met with numerous business owners during his tenure as a representative.
