'Last Commute' Lee Jae-myung: "Sorry to the Residents for Leaving Before Completing My Governor Term"

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate and Governor of Gyeonggi Province, expressed his apologies to the residents for not completing his term and resigning early on the last day of his work commute as governor on the 25th.

At around 9 a.m. that day, Lee arrived at the new building of the Gyeonggi Provincial Government in Paldal-gu, Suwon. When reporters asked, "Since today is your last commute to the provincial office, please share your thoughts," he said, "I feel regretful. My original goal was to serve three terms as mayor of Seongnam, but I had to resign early due to the gubernatorial election. I was truly very sorry to the citizens of Seongnam. This time, I am resigning about eight months early even before completing my first term, so I feel very regretful for not being able to finish the tasks entrusted to me until the end, and I also feel sorry to our residents. It is really regrettable."

Regarding his meeting with former Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon the previous day, he said, "(Former leader Lee Nak-yeon) told me that we should become a dream team, not just a one team," and added, "I believe it will go well."
