People Power chief Jang Dong-hyuk draws attention before June 3 local polls

People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk is drawing renewed attention on May 10 as the June 3 local elections approach in about 20 days. He had once been described as a figure avoided in local election campaigning, facing calls to resolve matters himself after repeated “Yoon again” controversies and backlash from a U.S. visit. Now, however, conservative consolidation in the Yeongnam region is emerging as a factor that could revive his political footing. The trend may affect conservative voter mobilization and the party’s election strategy, though the controversies have not fully subsided. Jang’s role and public evaluation are expected to remain under scrutiny through the campaign. Source: mk.co.kr
