"This is neither a progressive country nor a conservative country, but a country of the people."

This is neither a country of young people nor a country of old people, but a country of the people.

This is neither a country of men nor a country of women, but a country of the people…

At Daejeon Stadium, Ahn Cheol-soo, wearing a white shirt and tie with his sleeves rolled up, was giving a speech to thousands of supporters.

Anyone with even a slight understanding of Obama can see that Ahn Cheol-soo is deliberately imitating Obama.

From clothing and appearance to behavior and even speeches, everything was copied pixel by pixel.

Obama gave a related speech in Boston as early as 2004:

"This is neither a free-spirited nation nor a conservative nation, but the United States of America."

This is neither a Black country nor a White country.

It is neither a Latino country nor an Asian country, but the United States of America.

These two speeches are not exactly similar, but they are practically identical!

Of course, my great Hanming country has its own national conditions. Can we call it plagiarism when it comes to things done by people from the peninsula?

To be honest, Ahn Cheol-soo's political ideas are actually quite good, and he is quite outspoken, with his words resonating with young people on the peninsula.

For example, he has repeatedly criticized the severe wealth gap on the Korean Peninsula, calling for deeper reforms, abolishing the "privileges" enjoyed by conglomerates, and strengthening the punishment for corruption and dereliction of duty.

However, while he had his fill of talking, he only raised questions but couldn't solve them!

How do you reduce the wealth gap? Arrest the tycoons and make them cough up their gold coins?

Sir, times have changed. Do you really think the current president is the same president as back then?

Ultimately, he is no different from Western politicians in essence; they all stir up public sentiment, make a bunch of empty promises, and then fail to deliver on them once they take office.

Once he comes to power, he will most likely use his limited time and enormous power to seek personal gain!

Apart from Attorney Moon Jae-in, all other presidents of the Korean Peninsula, or their families, have experienced a significant increase in wealth after serving one term.

Many times, you can't even refuse the money!

Ultimately, presidential elections are a business!

But there's no denying that the atmosphere was really lively; if you didn't know better, you'd think it was a concert!

Amid applause and cheers, Ahn Cheol-soo waved and left the stage, having completed another speech.

After stepping down, Ahn Cheol-soo didn't even rest before going straight outside and getting into the car that was already waiting at the door.

With less than a month left until the election, he must race against time to secure every single ballot.

"Representative An, have some water!"

Once Ahn Cheol-soo got into the car, his secretary quickly handed him a bottle of water.

The secretary called him the representative because after he established the new party, he and Councilor Chun Jung-bae, who had also withdrawn from the party, were jointly elected as representatives of the party.

After 12 years of failure, Ahn Cheol-soo realized that a political party was still needed.

Everything is going according to his plan. He only needs to defeat Attorney Wen as his opponent to sit on the precious position of president!

A speech can easily last for several hours, and even though Ahn Cheol-soo drank several bottles of water on stage, his throat was already parched.

He picked up the water bottle, unscrewed the cap, and drank most of it in one gulp, which made him feel a little better.

"Where to next?"

"Let's go to Daegu!"

"Um!"

Ahn Cheol-soo nodded and didn't say anything more.

His current schedule is no less demanding than that of artists who promote their music.

"Turn on the radio!"

"Don't you want to get some sleep?"

The secretary was somewhat surprised when she heard Ahn Cheol-soo's order.

The drive from Daejeon to Daegu takes two hours, which gives Ahn Cheol-soo a chance to rest and recharge.


"No, I can't sleep anyway!"

Sometimes people are like that; when they're extremely tired, they can't fall asleep.

Upon hearing this, the secretary promptly turned on the radio.

"Welcome to today's 'Hope at Noon,' I'm your host, Kim Shin-young..."

At this moment, they were listening to a music program broadcast by MBC FM4U radio station. Kim Shin-young is a very famous comedy host on the Peninsula, who has hosted popular variety shows such as "We Got Married" and "Invincible Youth".

"Today we have invited Taa, reborn from the ashes! Welcome!"

"Hello everyone, this is Taa!"

Upon hearing this name, Ahn Cheol-soo suddenly frowned slightly and asked his secretary:

"Is this... Lee Ho-yong's... group?"

"Yes! And one of the girls in this group is Speaker Lee Sang-sik's daughter!"

"Oh? I didn't realize Speaker Lee was so open-minded in private, actually allowing his own daughter to become a prostitute?"

Although it is now 2014, the status of the l industry has improved as it has expanded beyond Asia and into the world, but the improvement has been limited.

It was far from the later era when even daughters of chaebols had to become prostitutes.

Of course, there are advantages to this, namely that on the peninsula right now, you can't see those ugly children from chaebol families on stage, because they can't endure this hardship.

"I heard that her daughter became a member of parliament first, and then Speaker Lee became a member later!"

"Heh, in the end, he's just lucky to have a good daughter!"

Ahn Cheol-soo pursed his lips, his heart filled with resentment!

The fact that he couldn't get Lee Ho-young's support was a lifelong regret for Ahn Cheol-soo.

Without his support, it would be too difficult for me to win the election.

In particular, Lee Ho-yong's internet platform occupies almost 90% of the market on the peninsula, and its supporters largely overlap with his own.

His account on their platform has been subject to traffic restrictions since he left MZ, and many of his posts have been banned for allegedly involving sensitive issues.

In this situation, I have no way to compete with Attorney Wen on the Internet, so I can only resort to this clumsy method of traveling to one place after another!

This method may be a bit clumsy, but at least it allows you to reach some supporters on the spot!

"It's been two years since our last album, we've really been waiting a long time!"

However, the album sales this time are truly phenomenal. In just one month, sales have approached 30 copies—it's simply unbelievable!

Just as Ahn Cheol-soo was pondering, Kim Shin-young's praises poured in from the radio.

In previous years, this would have been a sure-fire sales record, but unfortunately, it happened to coincide with this year.

However, the reason why both Taa and other products have such high sales is mainly due to the support of Chinese fans!

Of the more than 60 album sales, the Chinese version accounted for half.

Of Taa's 30 sales, half were from Chinese fans.

Company M has been deeply rooted in China for many years and has four members in China. It is normal for it to sell such a large proportion of its products in China.

But Taa is an all-Korean group, so their success in China really surprised them.

Who wouldn't be envious of this?

Therefore, all entertainment companies are now eager to make big money in China!

"Are you planning to sing your new hit song again this time at the radio station?"

"No, this time we plan to sing a song from the album called 'Understanding That Feeling'!"

On the radio, Park So-yeon, as usual, answered the questions as the spokesperson.

"Okay, so this is a ballad, right?"

"This is a song that describes the feelings of a girl who is secretly in love!"

"Great! Now, please listen to 'Understanding That Feeling' performed by Taa!"

You are my Romeo

How long are you going to keep me on my toes?

My heart is burning

pla tll m lv lv……”

Ham Eun-jung's textured voice uttered the ap, creating vivid imagery that instantly calmed the listener.

"Because of you, dulu dulu dulu"

And sadness, dulu dulu

Perhaps it's just my imagination.

"Doo-doo-doo..."

This song is good, but after listening to it, Ahn Cheol-soo only remembered one word: "doo-doo-doo".

However, with the help of this song, Ahn Cheol-soo's heart calmed down, and he fell asleep in no time.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but when he opened his eyes, they had already arrived in Daegu.

The Korean Peninsula currently has six metropolitan cities: Busan, Daegu, Incheon, Gwangju, Daejeon, and Ulsan.

Unlike Daejeon, which is a technology-driven city, Daegu is an industrial city with textiles as its pillar industry.

This traditional industrial city can be described as a stronghold of the ruling party.

In the past, Ahn Cheol-soo would never have come, but the problem is that Power Dang's popularity is not good this time, which gives him the opportunity to secretly do something!

However, as soon as he got off the car, someone actually wanted to see him!

"Who wants to see me?"

"Representative An, come with me, and you'll see it's nearby!"

"Are you kidding me? I have a speech tonight!"

Looking at the plain-looking guy in a suit in front of him, Ahn Cheol-soo became secretly on guard.

"How many supporters can you garner with a single speech? But if the person who invites you supports you, you can definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort!"

Upon hearing these words, Ahn Cheol-soo's heart stirred:

Could it be that some tycoon has taken a liking to me?

With the Power Party's poor performance, this year's election is already a lost cause, which has given many tycoons who do not want to see Attorney Moon take office other ideas!

Among them, Ahn Cheol-soo, as Attorney Moon's biggest competitor, should also have someone favored!

However, after all this time, no one has invested in him!

The reason is actually quite simple: his policies are too radical, even more radical than Attorney Wen's!

In this situation, which conglomerate would sell the rope that would hang itself to the other party?

But Ahn Cheol-soo really wanted to say that he was innocent!

All of that was just a tactic to attract voters! If a tycoon were willing to support him, he could talk to them, and he could even support them!

Now that the opportunity had finally presented itself, Ahn Cheol-soo decisively said, "Okay, please lead the way!"

Despite being persuaded by those around him, Ahn Cheol-soo still went with the other person.

The other party chose to meet at a hotel near the stadium.

When Ahn Cheol-soo entered the room, he saw a middle-aged man sitting there!

Ahn Cheol-soo recognized the other person at a glance: Chung Eui-sun of Hyundai Group!
