[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, reportedly held a secret meeting with Kim Jong-in, former chairman of the People Power Party's presidential campaign committee, on the 6th.

Attention is focused on whether Kim, who supported People Power Party candidate Yoon Seok-youl until early this year, will indirectly support Lee.

According to political insiders, Lee exchanged opinions on measures to overcome the COVID-19 crisis, quarantine, and the economic difficulties faced by ordinary citizens at Kim's private office in Gwanghwamun that evening.

The meeting lasted about 1 hour and 20 minutes, from 8:00 PM to 9:20 PM. Kim is known to have traveled to Seoul from Jeju Island on the 4th.

Earlier, Democratic Party leader Song Young-gil also revealed that he had met Kim privately last month. The Democratic Party has recently sent repeated 'love calls' to Kim from the perspective of expanding the moderate base. In an interview with the media on the 31st of last month, Song said, "I asked him to help for the sake of the country," adding, "Kim is also viewing candidate Lee positively."
