[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, expressed on the 13th that he is "looking forward to it as much as we have waited" upon the news of the agreement for a one-on-one TV debate with Yoon Seok-yeol, the candidate of the People Power Party.

On the same day, Lee said on Facebook, "Finally, I will meet candidate Yoon in a TV debate. We have waited a long time."

He added, "I hope the upcoming debates will be an opportunity to jointly diagnose the four major crises facing our country and to thoroughly explain to the public the prepared and concrete solutions," and said, "Above all, it would be good if concrete solutions to revive the economy and people's livelihoods, as well as various measures to guarantee the economic basic rights of the people, are discussed."

He continued, "Rather than promising things to do after becoming president, I hope this will be a productive occasion to quickly agree on what is essential to improve the difficult lives of the people and what must be done immediately, and to make a joint promise to the public."

He then emphasized, "I will prepare well so that it can be a meaningful occasion. I hope candidate Yoon will also prepare well."
