[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, and Lee Jun-seok, the party leader, resolved the 'passing' controversy and met in the same place for the first time on the 4th. The People Power Party leadership held the first on-site election campaign committee meeting to discuss the direction of the campaign committee. Although the conflict subsided, a subtle difference in stance between candidate Yoon and leader Lee was observed.


Candidate Yoon held the campaign committee meeting at the Busan Suyeong-gu Busan City Party Office and said in his opening remarks, "On Monday the 6th, there will be the inauguration ceremony of the central campaign committee organization," adding, "The most important thing in the election is that the central party will base its pledges on the party associations of all National Assembly members' constituencies."


He continued, "At the November 8th members' meeting, I said we would conduct election campaigns centered on the party, and the People Power Party's local party associations need to communicate more closely with the people."


Leader Lee emphasized that day, "The most important point is to increase communication with the younger generation and to conduct election activities that the younger generation would be interested in."


He added, "Each general headquarters is assigning young aides so that the opinions of the younger generation can be appropriately reflected, and reflecting the younger generation's feedback should be a basic principle of the campaign committee."


In other words, candidate Yoon called for a party-centered election campaign, while leader Lee requested a campaign committee that reflects the intentions of the younger generation.


Kim Ki-hyun, the floor leader of the People Power Party, said, "The ground becomes firmer after the rain," adding, "Candidate Yoon has demonstrated great leadership and has instilled confidence in the people that he will take the lead going forward, and leader Lee has carefully unpacked every bundle for the party and the people." He continued, "We will create a strong wind starting from Busan that will raise the nation."



Candidate Yoon and leader Lee are scheduled to conduct joint election campaigns together in Busan wearing T-shirts with inscribed letters.
