[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] Lee Jun-seok, a candidate for the leadership of the People Power Party, said on the 5th, "Not only Yoon Seok-yeol, Ahn Cheol-soo, and Hong Joon-pyo, but also Kim Dong-yeon, Choi Jae-hyung, and anyone else can become our party's presidential candidate."

At a meeting with party members from Gangwon Province of the People Power Party on the same day, Lee stated, "The individuals mentioned have spoken and acted differently in their respective positions, but the clear fact is that they all had good intentions for the country, so we should not doubt but embrace them." Regarding concerns about the 'Lee Jun-seok fever,' he responded, "We cannot win the presidential election without integrating into the party, and it was confirmed during the April 27 by-elections that when a great figure is presented, the younger generation empathizes and good results follow," adding, "We must have the capacity to embrace anyone who comes into the party."

Regarding next year's local elections, Lee said, "Governor Choi Moon-soon of Gangwon has served multiple terms, but we must strongly judge how much he has contributed to proper industrial development and job creation," and criticized, "The Korea-China Cultural Town project, which could be a concern for the entire nation, is a shameful project that was carried out without proper verification."

Meanwhile, after the meeting, Lee greeted citizens on the streets of Myeongdong in Chuncheon and later met with party members from the East Coast region, including Gangneung, in the afternoon. With Lee's visit on this day, the Gangwon Province tour schedule of the five People Power Party leadership candidates?Na Kyung-won, Joo Ho-young, Hong Moon-pyo, Jo Kyung-tae, and Lee Jun-seok?comes to an end.
