Myung-kil, let's first take a look at the campaign trail.

Good evening Conn-young. Korea's political parties have almost finished filling up their candidate lists to run in 253 constituencies. The two-day candidate registration also started today. First, let's take a look at some of the contested regions.
If we look at Seoul,... we have former Seoul mayor Oh Se-hoon running in the Jongro-gu district facing liberal bigwig Chung Sye-kyun of the main opposition Minjoo Party of Korea.
In the Nowon-C district we have the minor opposition People's Party co-leader Ahn Cheol-soo competing with the ruling Saenuri Party's rookie Lee Jun-seok who will spearhead efforts to win young votes.
In the Mapo-A district we have Saenuri's Ahn Dae-hee, a former Supreme Court justice competing against Minjoo Party's second-term lawmaker Noh Woong-rae.
Looking at the conservative stronghold regions... we have Saenuri's chairman Kim Moo-sung for the Yeong-do constituency in Busan and we have former Saenuri's floor leader Yoo Seong-min running as an independent in Daegu Dong-B district.
At the liberal hometurf regions... we have former presidential candidate... Chung Dong-young running under the People's Party for Jeonju city, while the People's Party co-leader Chun Jeong-bae is running for the Gwang-ju Seo-B district.
