[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Lee Kwang-jae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, expressed his acceptance of the party leadership's decision not to postpone the primary schedule and to hold it in September as planned.

On the 25th, Lee stated on Facebook, "Although there are some regrets, I respect the party's opinion," adding, "I will create a dynamic comeback drama in the bottom of the 9th inning with 2 outs. That is the only way for the Democratic Party to survive."

He also wrote, "At that time, about 100 people gathered to urge the presidential election candidacy, and President Roh Moo-hyun promised to run. Everyone present there burst into cheers," adding, "Back then, the support was really insignificant. However, I was confident that candidate Roh Moo-hyun would win."

He continued, "This time, I intend to run for president. My support is low," and appealed, "The Democratic Party must focus on the middle class, small and medium-sized enterprises, and small and medium-sized cities to expand the moderate voter base and put forward a candidate who can win. If you think about it just one more time, you will see the Democratic Party's presidential candidate."
