Political figures and supporters flocked to the publication celebration for &#8220;Black Sleet,&#8221; the debut book by Democratic Party Congressman Park Chan-dae (representing Yeonsu District, Incheon).<\/p>\n<p>A long queue of supporters formed at the photo zone near the auditorium entrance, eager to snap pictures with Congressman Park. Some enthusiastically waved placards declaring, &#8220;Park Chan-dae is the right choice!&#8221; and cheered with supportive banners.<\/p>\n<p>As factional tensions within the Democratic Party intensify over the potential merger with the Justice Party, the presence of party leader Jeong Cheong-rae at Park&#8217;s book launch &#8211; a key figure in the pro-Lee Jae-myung faction &#8211; elicited jeers from some attendees.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, Congressman Kim Kyo-hung (West District, Incheon), who has recently aligned closely with Jeong, also attended the event. Kim, the first to announce his candidacy for the Incheon mayoral race, may face a direct confrontation with Park if the latter officially enters the race.<\/p>\n<p>Political analysts suggest that if the Democratic Party&#8217;s candidate pool narrows to a Park Chan-dae versus Kim Kyo-hung showdown, it could evolve into a proxy battle between the pro-Lee Jae-myung faction and the pro-Jeong Cheong-rae faction.<\/p>\n<p>As a three-term lawmaker, Kim is regarded as a seasoned politician with a solid local base. Park, who has long collaborated with party leader Lee Jae-myung, is known for his experience and capabilities on the national political stage &#8211; considered his greatest assets.<\/p>\n<p>During the event, Park rallied his supporters, praising them as &#8220;the organized power of engaged citizens.&#8221; He focused on fostering unity and boosting morale ahead of the upcoming local elections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We recognize that the power of the majority, which holds absolute sovereignty in electing the National Assembly Speaker and party leader, lies with our party members,&#8221; Park stated. He added, &#8220;I trust that the collective wisdom of our members will guide us in the right direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Insiders expect Park to announce his candidacy before the Lunar New Year holiday. On February 3, he visited Incheon City Hall and told reporters, &#8220;I will address this at an appropriate time after the book launch. I intend to make a decision before the Lunar New Year break.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\/By Byeon Seong-won, Reporter, bsw906@incheonilbo.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The book launch
