[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] Lee Jae-myung, the leading presidential candidate from the Democratic Party of Korea and Governor of Gyeonggi Province, on the 2nd sharply responded to actress Kim Bu-seon, who has been criticizing him, saying, "How much more do I have to prove? I think her story is enough at this point."

Lee, who declared his presidential candidacy the day before (the 1st), made this remark with a smile during an online press conference in the morning when asked about Kim. He briefly replied, "Please stop at that level. The judgment should be made by the people."

Earlier, Kim directly confronted him on Facebook by quoting Lee's announcement article and asking, "Jae-myung, what about me? What about my daughter?"

Kim claimed that she met Lee in 2007 and dated him for 15 months. She alleges that Lee hid his marriage and continued an extramarital affair, but Lee has completely denied these claims.

Regarding the controversy over his insulting remarks about his sister-in-law the day before, Lee said, "I acknowledge it, and I believe that if I fill in my shortcomings and apologize for my mistakes, I can sufficiently explain myself."
