On the morning of the 28th, from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., Jeollanam-do Governor Kim Youngrok stood at the Suncheon Jorye Intersection holding a picket that read, "Voting is my power! Let's make sure to vote!" and called on residents to actively participate in the election.
Governor Kim emphasized, "Voting is the most precious right guaranteed by the Constitution and a responsibility of democratic citizens," and added, "Each and every vote of our residents will determine the direction of state affairs for the next five years and will shape our lives and the future of our children."
He continued, "Voting is my power, our hope, and the force of change," appealing for all residents to unite and create a wave of voter participation.
