Chung Sye-kyun highlights reform actions ahead of party convention

Chung Sye-kyun, a leading contender for the Democratic Party's leadership, is drawing attention to his past stances on party sovereignty and prosecutorial reform ahead of the August 17 national convention. He posed a rhetorical question on social media: "Who led the charge for one-person-one-vote party membership and the abolition of supplementary investigations? Who opposed them? That is the issue."

Chung has been actively campaigning in the Honam region, consistently stressing the importance of prosecutorial reform and empowering party members. His message on Facebook reads, "I will engrave in my heart: only the people's will, only the party members' will, only the success of President Lee Jae-myung's administration."

His campaign trail has included visits to significant historical sites. On August 4, he posted about traveling to the birthplace of former President Kim Dae-jung in Haui-do, Shinan County, South Jeolla Province. Chung reflected on Kim Dae-jung's struggles, stating, "You overcame life-threatening moments five times, and each time, South Korean democracy took a step forward. Kim Dae-jung is never someone a few individuals can monopolize."

Chung pledged to follow in Kim Dae-jung's footsteps, vowing to work for the success of the Lee Jae-myung administration, the completion of prosecutorial reform, and a Democratic Party where members are the true owners. He concluded by stating his intention to "walk the path of democracy, human rights, and peace on the Korean Peninsula" that Kim Dae-jung pioneered, aiming to become "acting conscience."
