[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, shared an online comment capture expressing concern over the election of his rival candidate Yoon Seok-yeol of the People Power Party, demanding, "In response to requests to appear on stock broadcasts, I must express my views on stocks and the capital market in front of 10 million stock investors."

On the 21st, Lee shared on Facebook a capture of a comment from an article stating, "What stock investors should do at the end of the presidential election: if Yoon Seok-yeol is elected, first sell all stocks and convert them to cash." The author of the comment claimed, "Stock beginners know that Yoon Seok-yeol will ruin the economy," and added, "A stock market crash is as obvious as seeing fire."

Along with the capture, Lee pointed out, "If the president does not understand the capital market, the core of the capitalist market economy, South Korea’s economy cannot survive the era of crisis and international competition." This is interpreted as highlighting Yoon’s weakness in economic policy and aiming to attract the attention of stock investors.

Earlier, on the afternoon of the 18th, Lee appeared on a stock-specialized YouTube channel and communicated live with stock investors. At that time, he expressed his views on questions about market rule violations such as the abolition of short selling and naked short selling.

Lee urged Yoon, saying, "Especially, he must express a strong will to severely punish serious crimes of stock price manipulation that destroy the capital market and create victims."
