[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Seoyoung] Lee Hae-chan, former leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, defined this presidential election as a so-called 'camp battle,' while Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, countered by calling it a 'battle between the past and the future.'

On the 29th, Lee shared a news article containing Lee's remarks on his Facebook, adding, "It is deplorable to see a candidate causing regional conflicts and a retired king inciting camp battles." Lee stated, "I would define this election as a battle between the past and the future," and urged, "Let us each put in more effort from our respective positions so that the past's rules do not defeat political reform aimed at the future."

Earlier, Lee Hae-chan, in an interview released on the YouTube channel of Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, responded to the question, "What is the reason for your early involvement in the election campaign?" by saying, "This election is inevitably a camp battle." He also described it as "a '51 to 49' camp battle, so we need to gather even one vote as early as possible."

Lee explained, "I thought about how I could compensate for the candidate's shortcomings and decided it would be good to write discourse-level, broad-perspective columns, so I started serializing support appeal columns." When asked about his view on the current trend, he said, "It is extremely close, so I am nervous. I often think it would be a big problem if we lose this election," but also showed determination by saying, "Don't worry. We will not lose."
