[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] On the 7th, Lee Nak-yeon, the Democratic Party presidential primary candidate, paid respects at the grave of President Kim Dae-jung at the National Seoul National Cemetery in Dongjak-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul.

Last weekend, Lee suffered a major defeat in the Chungcheong primary, the first battleground, failing to prevent Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung from securing a majority vote. As a result, he canceled all schedules the day before and decided to revise his strategy. This visit to President DJ's grave also appears to be a decision aimed at appealing to party members.
