,
, ‘[Reporter]’,
,
, ‘The Seoul Superintendent of Education by-election is a showdown between conservative candidate Jo Jeon-hyuk and progressive candidate Jung Geun-sik.’,
,
, “Candidate Jo directly targeted candidate Jung as ‘the avatar of Cho Hee-yeon.'”,
,
, “[Jo Jeon-hyuk/Seoul Superintendent of Education Candidate: The 10 years of Cho Hee-yeon’s Seoul education were, in a word, a dark period. (candidate Jung Geun-sik) has positioned himself as not only his successor but as an ‘avatar.’]”,
,
, ‘Candidate Jung intensified his attacks by mentioning the school violence controversy.’,
,
, ‘[Jung Geun-sik/Seoul Superintendent of Education Candidate: Someone with a history of school violence should never become a leader. I want to emphasize that. ]’,
,
, ‘Candidate Jo transferred schools after injuring a friend’s chin during high school, which led to allegations of school violence.’,
,
, ‘However, he maintains the stance that “it was an incident that occurred in 3 seconds and was not continuous, so it does not constitute school violence.”‘,
,
, ‘[Jo Jeon-hyuk/Seoul Superintendent of Education Candidate: It was a teenage argument and an accident. If I repent, reflect, receive appropriate punishment, (it might actually) be helpful for our children based on my experience.]’,

, ‘They presented distinct stances in their policy promises.’,
,
, “Candidate Jo pledged to usher in the ‘heyday of evaluations.'”,
,
, ‘[Jo Jeon-hyuk/Seoul Superintendent of Education Candidate: If diagnostic evaluations are truly implemented continuously from elementary to high school, it will be an excellent tool for managing the quality of education.]’,
,
, ‘On the other hand, candidate Jung argued the need for diagnostics to discover latent abilities.’,
,
, ‘[Jung Geun-sik/Seoul Superintendent of Education Candidate: A test seeking a single correct answer cannot provide proper responses to future society. Not education based on competition…]’,
