Seoul Superintendent Candidate Choi Bo-sun Resigns...The progressive camp is united in a formal way.

Choi Bo-sun, the candidate for Seoul's superintendent of education, announced his support for Chung Geun-sik, who resigned and was elected as a single candidate for the progressive camp, today, four days before the main vote for the by-election.

At a press conference held with candidate Chung, Choi expressed his intention to unify after resigning, saying that candidate Chung is the right person to take charge of education in Seoul.

Choi, a former education council member of the Seoul Metropolitan Council and progressive, has drawn a line on unification, saying he will not be swayed by political factions.

However, with the resignation of the candidate, the progressive camp became completely unified with the support of candidate Chung, who was elected alone in the unification organization of the progressive camp.

As a result, the candidates for the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education have been narrowed down to three candidates: Jeong Geun-sik, a liberal candidate, Cho Jeon-hyuk, a single conservative candidate, and Yun Ho-sang, an adjunct professor at Hanyang University's Graduate School of Education.
