"I will run forward with the 4Gs of transportation, education, environment, and economy"

On the 2nd, Kim Yong-nam (41), former deputy chief prosecutor of the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office, officially declared his candidacy for the April 11 general election from the Grand National Party in Jangan-gu under the slogan "I will run forward with 4G."

Former Deputy Chief Prosecutor Kim held a press conference on his candidacy at the Gyeonggi Provincial Council briefing room, stating, "Upholding the constitutional principle that all state power derives from the people, I will fulfill my sacred duty as a public servant for the nation and residents of the region."

He announced an unusual slogan titled "Kim Yong-nam's Promise," running forward with "4G," and unveiled four pledges: "Going Jangan" for traffic and logistics policy, "Good Jangan" for welfare, education, and culture policy, "Green Jangan" for environment and housing policy, and "Great Jangan" for local economy policy.

Former Deputy Chief Prosecutor Kim stepped down from his position as deputy chief prosecutor of the Anyang branch of the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office on December 27 of last year to run in the general election. Earlier, regarding judges' assertion to form a task force team (TFT) for "Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA)" renegotiation, he posted an opposition message on the prosecution's internal communication network, stating that "forming a TF at the Court Administration Office is a trans-constitutional idea that ignores the principle of separation of powers in democracy."

Regarding his choice of party, former Deputy Chief Prosecutor Kim stated, "It is a party that encompasses both welfare and growth capable of advancing our country to developed nation status."

A native of Suwon, former Deputy Chief Prosecutor Kim graduated from Suwon Middle and High School and Seoul National University College of Law, passed the 34th Judicial Examination, completed the Judicial Research and Training Institute as the 24th class, and has served at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office, the Ministry of Justice as a policy advisor to the Minister of Justice, and as deputy chief prosecutor of the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office.
