People Power Party Gangwon governor candidate Kim Jin-tae campaigned on the water at Gongjicheon in Chuncheon on the 22nd.

On this day, the candidate rode a boat with a banner strung over Gongjicheon and sharply criticized the Democratic Party of Korea's recently pushed "special counsel bill to cancel indictments." The banner on the boat read, "Judge the indictment-canceling administration; if you claim injustice, face trial."

On the boat, the candidate said, "If you claim injustice, you can be acquitted at trial; you must not try to cancel the indictment itself by using power," and added, "Korea's laws and principles must apply equally to everyone."

She went on, "Even if it means becoming a 'water ghost,' I will block the cancellation of Lee Jae-myung's trial," and appealed for support by saying, "In the upcoming election, rally the votes of Gangwon residents for the loyal and steadfast Kim Jin-tae."
