“This election is a confrontation between the past and the future, a battle between incompetence and ability, a battle between empty words and achievements, a battle between revenge and creativity,” Lee said.

On the same day, Democratic Party lawmaker Doo-gwan Kim resigned as co-election chairperson, saying he agreed with Lee’s ‘reorganization of the election committee’. Rep. Kim suggested on Facebook, “Don’t be in Yeouido, don’t go to the office, and if you need a meeting, do it online and let’s all go down to our neighborhood.”
Candidate Lee visited Nonsan, Boryeong, and Asan cities in South Chungcheong Province on the same day and met various citizens to listen to the public’s feelings. At Nonsan Hwaji Market, an elderly person bought taro and tears while buying taro, but thinking of her deceased mother, it was said that it was heartbreaking to see an elderly person over 90 squatting down to help with their livelihood.
On the same day, candidate Lee tried to communicate directly with young people by posting an article on the online community ‘DC Inside’ (DC) Jae-myung Lee’s gallery and attaching a certified photo.
Candidate Lee appealed for support, saying, “Use me as a useful tool for a better tomorrow, and if you don’t want to use it, you can replace it mercilessly.”
