Balanced Development under the Lee Jae-myung Administration


Yeongnam benefited during both the Roh Moo-hyun and Moon Jae-in administrations,
but Honam was thoroughly neglected.
President Kim Dae-jung overcame the arduous challenges of escaping national bankruptcy
and secured future growth engines,
then requested Roh Moo-hyun to look after Honam.
However, Roh focused investment on Yeongnam,
and regarding Honam, he made anachronistic remarks about dam construction,
and even that was never implemented.
He only offered lip service during election seasons.
Despite this, Honam remained the core of the Democratic Party,
standing by them until the end when Yeongnam abandoned Roh.
That core Democratic Party support base is now warning
the "Moon-Jo-Teol-Lae-Yu-Chu" [Moon-Jo faction] not to overstep.
They are stating they will not vote for anyone from that faction.
