Justice Party presidential candidate Shim Sang-jung (pictured) announced on the 12th that he would temporarily suspend the election campaign schedule. However, the Justice Party drew a line saying, “It is not considering the possibility of resignation or unification of the candidates.”
In the afternoon of the same day, the Justice Party said, “Candidate Shim is taking the current election situation seriously, and after this time, all schedules are suspended and contemplated.” It is said that candidate Shim made this decision because he was concerned about the situation in which approval ratings rarely rise.
