[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Na Kyung-won, the Future United Party candidate, targeted Lee Su-jin, the Democratic Party candidate competing in Dongjak-eul, Seoul, on the 10th, saying, "Can a rookie from the Democratic Party fight and win against candidate Lee Nak-yeon?"

On the afternoon of the same day, Na got on an election campaign vehicle near Seonggwang Church in Sadang 2-dong, Dongjak-gu, and said, "There is Daesin High School, which I have devoted myself to. However, candidate Lee Nak-yeon suddenly hung a banner claiming that Daesin High School has settled in Jongno," he said. Daesin High School, located in Haengchon-dong, Jongno-gu, is reportedly hoping to relocate to Dongjak-gu due to weakening school influence and for reasons such as strengthening competitiveness.

He said, "Daesin High School has already expressed its intention to move, and it needs to be finalized," adding, "Everything has been settled; please help Na Kyung-won to finalize it."

Na also criticized the government's response to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). He said, "I am worried about the South Korean economy after the COVID-19 crisis, no less than Dongjak," and pointed out, "Now is not the time for the government to praise itself."

He continued, "Due to the initial failure in quarantine, about 200 precious lives were lost," explaining, "Taiwan, which has half the population of ours, succeeded in initial quarantine with 300 confirmed cases and 2 deaths. Thailand, with a slightly larger population than ours, has 1,300 confirmed cases and 20 deaths."

He also said, "The South Korean economy has already hit rock bottom," and appealed, "To overcome the crisis in South Korea after the COVID-19 crisis, we must empower the opposition party that can change the Moon Jae-in administration's economic policies."

Meanwhile, Na added, "Many people may still feel 'I am not satisfied with the Future United Party yet.' We are well aware of our shortcomings," and said, "The Future United Party will also try to become a party that you can trust."
