On the 27th, 37 days before the June 3 local elections, public sentiment among Busan—considered the most battleground of this election—was divided. Even in Busan, the traditional conservative stronghold, there was a growing sense of 'judgment' against the People Power Party, while calls to check the ruling party were still being heard. Mr. Park, who runs a sashimi restaurant in Gupo Market, said, "The People Power Party used to be the same as before, but now it's just crap prices. This time, I wish they could buy the black beans," and a vendor selling coffee and other beverages at the main gate of ,,,Gupo Market said, "Martial law is like the sun is causing this situation," and added, "There are plenty of people who are now completely turning to the Blue Party," conveying the sentiment of the surrounding people. Busan Mayor The common sentiment among citizens about supporting Democratic Party candidate Jeon Jae-soo in the election was disappointment with the conservative government. Kang, a resident who lived only in Buk-gu, Busan, for over 40 years, said, "Yoon Seok-yeol is completely ruined, the mess is a mess, kid," and diagnosed, "Shouldn't Jang Dong-hyuk be changed now?" However, while resenting the conservative camp's misrule, there were also many citizens who wanted to maintain their existing political stance. Jo, who runs a barbershop near Gupo Station, said, "Whenever I think about politics, I am speechless. Still, even if it rots, it's still a mess, isn't it?" he defended the People Power Party. Taxi driver Oh, who was waiting for passengers at Gupo Station, said, "Park Hyung-joon hasn't done anything good, but it's impossible to choose someone to stand trial," expressing his complicated feelings. Mr. Shim, who visited a restaurant in Gupo Market, raised his glass and said, "Even if Jeon Jae-soo was elected from Buk-gu   , the mayor is not acceptable," and emphasized, "I'm noisy thinking about the People Power Party, but can we really hand everything over to the Democratic Party?"
