Kim Kyung-soo emphasizes the revival of the Bu-Ul-Gyeong Mega City... Park Wan-soo highlights Gyeongnam provincial governance sovereignty
Re-pushing the Bu-Ul-Gyeong Mega City and people-centered administration, a head-to-head aimed at Gyeongnam voters Quickly see the differences in regional balanced development plans and messages to public sentiment
Candidate Kim Kyungsoo emphasized the need to restart the 'BuulGyeong Mega City' project, highlighting his vision for balanced regional development. In response, candidate Park Wansoo appealed to local public sentiment with the message that "the people of Gyeongnam are the owners of Gyeongnam," emphasizing that the people of the province should be the ones driving provincial administration.
These remarks, made around May 3, 2026 in Gyeongnam's political circles, are seen as a scene in which the two candidates each presented regional development strategies and peoplecentered administration as key issues. Kim once again floated the broadarea cooperation plan linking Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam, while Park stressed local autonomy within Gyeongnam and public participation.
As local issues and the election landscape intersect, the competition between the two candidates' messages over Gyeongnam voters is expected to continue.
