[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] In the final debate held by the People Power Party presidential candidates, all of them confidently claimed to be the right person to defeat Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate.

On the 31st, at the 10th joint debate held at the KBS studio in Yeouido, Seoul, former Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong emphasized in his closing remarks, "Won Hee-ryong's work-led growth and national chance opportunity welfare surpass Lee Jae-myung's basic income and basic housing," and pointed out, "Lee Jae-myung is neither progressive nor left-wing. He is a huge and ugly gate power."

Former Governor Won continued, "I am the only one who can unveil Lee Jae-myung's cunning fake face and achieve victory," adding, "Won Hee-ryong will catch Lee Jae-myung. Please let Won Hee-ryong enter the main ring for a one-on-one match against Lee Jae-myung for four months."

Following Won's closing remarks, Representative Hong Joon-pyo stressed that he was chosen as the candidate who could defeat Lee in all opinion polls. Hong said, "Now the trend has solidified around Hong Joon-pyo," and added, "I will serve the other three candidates well and ensure a regime change as one team."

Claiming to be the candidate who will bring "100% victory," Hong said, "If I become the 20th president, I will be a warm-hearted president who helps the weak, the poor, and the struggling common people."

Former Representative Yoo Seung-min also emphasized, "Among the four of us candidates, who can overwhelmingly defeat the Democratic candidate, Lee Jae-myung? If you choose Yoo Seung-min, I will definitely beat Lee Jae-myung."
