Ten celebrities, including singer Kim Heung-guk and actor Choi Jun-yong, publicly declared their support for Kim Moon-soo, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party.
On the afternoon of the 13th, Kim Heung-guk held a press conference at the People Power Party headquarters in Yeouido and said, "If it helps for victory on June 3, I will join Kim's campaign tour across the country and work hard to support him." In attendance that day were not only Kim Heung-guk but also actors Choi Jun-yong and Noh Hyun-hee, comedian Shin Dong-soo and Kim Han-bae, as well as People Power Party lawmakers Yoon Jae-ok, Seo Myeong-ok, and Lim I-ja.
Kim Heung-guk then stated, "I came here ready to devote my life to support (the candidate) for victory. True to the Marine Corps style, I will keep it short and to the point," and added, "I will dedicate my body and soul to Kim Moon-soo becoming president."
He continued, "Right-wing entertainers can be trendsetters for conservative citizens; it makes a significant difference whether we show up or not," and noted, "When right-wing entertainers appear, they can quickly become friendly with the citizens living in a rigid atmosphere of the election, which would be quite helpful for the election."
Kim Heung-guk remarked, "If Kim does not become president on June 3, right-wing entertainers will have to wait several more years," and questioned, "Where in the world do you find a country where left-wing entertainers are broadcast while right-wing entertainers are not, even though we are all Koreans and I have been in broadcasting for a long time?"
Comedian Lee Hyuk-jae indirectly expressed his aversion to Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea. He commented, "In Korea, if an entertainer supports the left-wing or progressive side, they gain a reputation for being reasonable, and that is why right-wing entertainers lack the courage to step forward," adding, "Entertainers live at the level of citizens, and I think a country where politicians violate the law and evade legal and moral responsibility should not exist."
