[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, who held a debate battle to select the party spokesperson, revealed on his Facebook on the 26th that he wants to hold a 'policy contest' ahead of the presidential election.

On that day, Lee said, "It might be another change that the political world feared." He explained the background of the 'policy contest' idea, saying, "If we solicit good policies in all areas such as housing, environment, labor, and jobs, the answers to many social problems in Korea might come not from a few professors who frequently visit Yeouido, but from young graduate students who work hard but have not been recognized."

He added, "Someone outside of school who makes realistic proposals based on their own experiences might have the right idea."

Lee emphasized, "We are not just selecting good policies and stealing their ideas. The role of a political party is to support the policymakers so that they can realize those policies in the government and the Blue House."

He pledged, "The People Power Party preparing for tomorrow will not overlook creative ideas that have not been able to come to Yeouido."

Meanwhile, on the 24th, the People Power Party conducted a pressure interview for 150 first-round successful candidates in the spokesperson selection debate battle 'I am the National Representative' and selected 16 successful candidates. Lee, who promised to select the spokesperson through a debate battle, personally conducted the interviews.

Following this, Lee posted the round of 16 matchups for 'I am the National Representative' on Facebook on the 25th, saying, "Whatever you imagine, I will show you more than that."

The round of 16, held on the 27th, will be conducted as a debate battle where teams of four compete against opposing teams. The topics will cover social issues such as "free subway rides for those aged 65 and over" and "nationwide distribution of the 5th disaster relief fund related to the COVID-19 situation."

Afterwards, the quarterfinals will be held on the 30th, and the final on the 5th of next month. The top two scorers will be selected as spokespersons, and the next two as full-time deputy spokespersons.
