[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Lee Sujin, the Democratic Party candidate running for Seoul Dongjak-eul, claimed on the 14th that "the controversy over the United Future Party's offensive remarks is actually uniting the conservative support base." Meanwhile, Na Kyungwon, the United Future Party candidate competing in the same district, emphasized that "the Democratic Party has launched a campaign to kill Na Kyungwon."

On the same day, Lee posted on her Facebook under the title 'Supporters of the opposing candidate are rallying,' saying, "The (United Future Party's) 'whining' to protect the 100-seat threshold to block constitutional amendment is leading conservative voters to the polls."

She continued, "In the Dongjak-eul area, the Our Republican Party candidate even withdrew for unclear reasons. This election in Dongjak-eul is essentially a one-on-one contest between me and the opposing candidate," adding, "Everyone who dislikes the opposing candidate who only fights and makes offensive remarks must unite their strength for us to win."

She also stressed, "To fight and win against COVID-19, you must empower the Moon Jae-in administration," and urged, "Please give me, Lee Sujin, a chance to work."

Earlier that day, candidate Na also appealed for voter support through her Facebook. She stated, "The current Democratic Party is different from the past Democratic Party," and claimed, "There is no Kim Dae-jung's common people, no Roh Moo-hyun's principles, no Kim Geun-tae's democracy. The current Democratic Party, led by the core 586 activist group, aims to create a South Korea without freedom."

Na also asserted, "The Democratic Party has launched a campaign to kill Na Kyungwon," emphasizing, "Because I, Na Kyungwon, am the most painful and frightening person to them."

She added, "I am the person who can properly check the Moon Jae-in administration and build the future of our Republic of Korea. And I am the person who can reform the United Future Party. I, Na Kyungwon, say this with confidence."
