On the 16th, Park Chan-dae, the Democratic Party of Korea candidate for Incheon mayor, opened a campaign office in Juan-dong, Michuhol-gu, and held a launch ceremony.

At the launch ceremony, attendees included Rep. Cho Jeong-sik, who was elected as a candidate for speaker for the latter half of the 20th National Assembly, former Democratic Party leader Song Young-gil, former Incheon Mayor Park Nam-chun, and Go Nam-seok, head of the Democratic Party's Incheon chapter.

The launch ceremony, under the slogan "overwhelm with competence," was prepared to share candidate Park Chan-dae's "Incheon great transformation" vision to achieve a new leap for Incheon together with the Lee Jae-myung administration. It was also to convey to citizens the will for unity of the Democratic Party's Incheon one-team.

Candidate Park Chan-dae said, "As Korea is running fast, Incheon must also run without hesitation."

He added, "With last year's provisional growth rate dropping to minus 0.5%, causing Incheon's growth rate to fall by 7.3 percentage points (P) in four years, I will get Incheon running again," and said, "Incheon's pending issues cannot be solved by the Incheon mayor alone. Park Chan-dae, who has experience and a network from leading overall state affairs as floor leader of the ruling party, will move the Blue House and persuade central ministries."
