[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, targeted Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, saying, "I am attacked and doubted for things that never happened, while my opponent's actual wrongdoings are all covered up," and appealed, "Please become the media yourselves."

On the 26th, during an impromptu speech at Hwajeong Station Cultural Plaza in Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province, Lee said, "We are on a playing field that is too tilted."

He asked his supporters, "Please write at least one comment on the internet, press 'like' at least once. Write posts in communities and send KakaoTalk messages to those around you to spread the truth," adding, "If 10,000 people speak once a day, the world will change. Please act with your fingers and your voice." He further urged, "Please think of yourselves as Lee Jae-myung, as if you are me."

Regarding the allegations related to the Daejang-dong development project against him, he expressed his grievance, saying, "What exactly did Lee Jae-myung do? Didn't Nam Wook, the developer of the Daejang-dong project, say, 'I tried to pressure Lee Jae-myung for 10 years, but it didn't work at all'?"

He continued, "If it had been rumored that those people were with me, the Daejang-dong development permit would not have been granted or would have been canceled," and criticized, "They thoroughly hid this from me, so for the People Power Party to hold me responsible is audacious."

On the same day, Lee also announced pledges for the citizens of Goyang, including active support for redevelopment, reconstruction, and remodeling of Ilsan New Town and aging residential complexes. He said, "It is time to come up with measures for the first-generation new towns, whether for reconstruction or remodeling," and explained, "We will also ease regulations to give the first-generation new towns an opportunity for reorganization."
