[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Independent lawmaker Lee Jung-hyun, who officially declared his candidacy for Jongno with the statement "I will put an end to the Moon Jae-in administration," has withdrawn his candidacy following Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the Liberty Korea Party, deciding to run in Jongno.
