JoongAng Ilbo’Politics Unboxing’ visits you by putting a hot topic on the streets of Yeouido in a 3-minute’video box’. We will summarize new issues in politics, complicated inner situation, and exciting backstory in ‘3-minute meeting’.
」— Park Hyung-joon (61), who voted for the 4/7 Busan mayor by-election, speaks the perfect standard language. When I met him in person at a restaurant in Yeouido, Seoul for an interview on the morning of the 14th, I thought he was a’Seoulman’ without a doubt. So, “The mayor of Busan who speaks Seoul seems to be awkward. Do you know how to write the Busan dialect?” he asked. The words returned were unexpected. With a Busan dialect accent, he asked back, “Bob Muna.”
Park’s hometown is Choryang-dong, Dong-gu, Busan. It is the town where singer Na Hoon-ah was born. So, he made a declaration of running on the 10th of last month at the North Port Convention Center in Choryang-dong. Under the banner of’A market that gives me strength’, “A market that gives strength to young people, a market that gives strength to parents raising children, a market that gives strength to the lives of citizens, gives strength to a new leap forward in Busan, and strength to change regimes. I will become a market that becomes a market.”
Park’s preliminary candidate Park, who served as the head of government at the Blue House at the time of the Lee Myung-bak administration, said, “We need President Moon Jae-in’s lone decision on the issue of pardon.” “Don’t blame the supporters. If you really want to unite the people, you must immediately pardon the two former presidents.”

–
- President Lee Nak-yeon’s suggestion of “pardon” was coordinated with President Moon?
–
- “If it is said that the normal system of state administration is in operation, I think it is impossible for the ruling party representative to bring out such a story and not discuss it with the Blue House. In a sense, it may have been a liver, but this is not an issue to liver.”
–
- Some also raise the possibility of’selection pardon’.
–
- “I’m firmly speaking, it’s a political work. It’s doing very bad politics. If you do it in that way, it is a self-confidence that the past president Lee Myung-bak’s investigation into the settlement of redemption, and that the process was political retaliation.”
–
- He said he would return to the denomination after the general election.
–
- “After the general election, I returned to the denomination. I tried to live freely, but the Seoul and Busan mayoral elections suddenly took place. Wasn’t it the reason I started the (conservative camp) integration movement last year to change the regime? This election victory is very important for the change of power and for Busan.”
–
- It is pointed out that the Busan mayoral election and preliminary rounds have been overheated.
–
- “The candidates came out too early and played hard, so the mayoral contest was a little overheated. Another thing is that because I’m a bit ahead of the polls, all targets tend to be directed towards me, so I’m having a difficult contest.”
–
- Isn’t it more difficult for the opposition party to qualify than the final?
–
- “Not like that. Busan also lost in the last local election. Already in the polls now, it appears to be losing everything except me. No one can go out, that’s ten thousand words.”
–
- Who would you like to be the mayor of Seoul?
–
- “That’s the story of a big day. I don’t talk to anyone because if I talk about it, it’s true from other candidates, but neither does Seoul. It is important that a candidate who can definitely win is important, and a candidate with scalability should come out. Above all, one person has to go out.”
–
- Are you in contact with former Minister Yoo Si-min, who was in sync with JTBC’s’Seoljeon’?
–
- “I can’t do it these days. Even after’the Motherland Incident’, I was occasionally seen, but after the general election, I couldn’t even contact you. After the general election, I was a bit awkward because I talked a little bit critically about him.
