An Jun-no Preliminary Candidate Takes Action for Disinfection in Multi-family Housing

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The spread of the novel coronavirus is imposing many restrictions and changes on candidates running in the 21st National Assembly elections.

Facing this unexpected variable, each political party has advised their preliminary candidates to excessively refrain from direct contact with the public to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.

As a result, various events that mainly constituted promotional activities have been canceled, and preliminary candidates are increasingly focusing on SNS promotion.

Amid this, a heartwarming story has emerged that An Junnno, the preliminary candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea (representing Gwangyang, Gokseong, Gurye), has put down his election campaign business cards and is disinfecting buttons and handles in apartment elevators and playgrounds in multi-family housing complexes.

On Sunday the 9th, Candidate An, together with his wife Lee Miok, disinfected the elevators of Changdeok Evervill Complex 1 (1,416 households) and Complex 2 (608 households) located in Gwangyang-eup over a period of three hours.

That evening, he shared on Facebook, “After finishing the disinfection, my wife Lee Miok had a nosebleed,” expressing regret for his wife but also saying it was a rewarding day.

Candidate An is continuing the novel coronavirus disinfection efforts by disinfecting Seongho 2nd Apartment in Jung-dong, where his home is located, on the 11th.

His campaign team stated, “In the short election period, even one more phone call asking for support declarations is necessary,” and added, “If you do it, it should be timed with commuting hours for promotional effectiveness,” but emphasized the need for the public’s joint response to the novel coronavirus beyond the election.

He then expressed his personal belief that sincerity always communicates as the purest essence.
