We will continue with the news of the election remaining on the 49th.
After a tug-of-war on when to hold the first TV debate between candidates Lee Jae-myung and Yoon Seok-yeol, we narrowed it down to either the 31st or the 30th.
Also, the unification between Candidate Seok-Yeol Yoon and Cheol-Soo Ahn has spread to a nerve war between ‘Ahn Il-hwa’ and ‘Gan Il-hwa’.

According to the original agreement to be held before the Lunar New Year holiday and the broadcaster’s request, the Democratic Party, who agreed to hold a bilateral discussion on the 27th, and the people’s power to move the schedule to the 31st, the day before the Lunar New Year, exchanged word of mouth in the open negotiating room again.

“I’m holding the agreement here. It says it’s before the Lunar New Year holiday…
[성일종/국민의힘 의원]
“No, it’s good, that New Year’s Day, all the generations gathered…”
In the end, as requested by the people, the 31st, the day before Lunar New Year’s Day, was decided as one plan, and if that didn’t happen, the 30th was decided to ask the three terrestrial broadcasters to organize the debate again.
However, the opinions of both sides were still divided on the case where the circumstances of the broadcasting company were not satisfactory.

“If it is difficult to be accepted, it is possible to do it on the 27th day that the broadcaster has already agreed on”
[성일종/국민의힘 의원]
“What can’t be possible? I think it can. There is no (more) important issue.”
Amid the tense tug-of-war between the two sides even over the date of the TV debate, the People’s Party and the Justice Party raised the level of opposition with a card to apply for an injunction to ban the broadcast of bilateral debates.
Even over the unification of two candidates, Yun Seok-yeol and Ahn Cheol-soo, who will be another variable in the presidential election, the battle of nerves between the two sides is getting fierce.
When Candidate Ahn mentioned the expression ‘Ahn Il-hwa’, which means the unification of Ahn Cheol-soo, the People’s Power Representative Lee Jun-seok responded with the term ‘ganil-hwa’.

“When I go to the Internet, the word ‘generalization’ comes up more than ‘anilhwa’.
Candidate Ahn downgraded Lee as a non-threatening politician.
[안철수/국민의당 대선 후보]
“I don’t comment on politicians or politicians’ remarks that are not very intimidating.”
Candidate Ahn repeatedly emphasized unification as himself, dismissing that he had never considered the conditions or method of unification with Candidate Yoon.
