[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] The number of members in the online fan cafe supporting Kim Hye-kyung, spouse of Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, has surpassed 30,000 just three weeks after its launch. Although this is fewer than the approximately 68,000 members of Kim Geon-hee, spouse of Yoon Seok-youl, the People Power Party presidential candidate, it is growing at a faster pace.

As of 10 a.m. on the 8th, the 'Kim Hye-kyung Fan Cafe - Let's Be Together' (formerly 'National Mother Kim Hye-kyung, It's a Celebration') on the portal site Naver exceeded 31,000 members. Following the explosive increase in membership of Kim Geon-hee's fan cafe after MBC's current affairs program 'Straight' aired the '7-hour phone call with Kim Geon-hee,' Kim Hye-kyung's fan cafe was launched on the 19th of last month. With the presidential election just over a month away, the competition for support for the spouses of the major party presidential candidates appears to be heating up.

Recently, after allegations of 'excessive protocol' involving Kim Hye-kyung during Lee's tenure as governor of Gyeonggi Province surfaced, the membership of Kim Hye-kyung's fan cafe has steadily increased.

The fan cafe's 'main photo' includes the phrases "For a better future, Lee Jae-myung, Kim Hye-kyung" and "March 9th to the Blue House!! We will make it happen." Additionally, a speech bubble on Kim Hye-kyung's photo reads, "I will listen carefully to the voices of the marginalized and convey them well to Brother Jae-myung." Regarding Lee Jae-myung, it states, "If you clear away fake news and false frames and resolve misunderstandings, there is no politician more honest, hardworking, and accomplished than him."

Meanwhile, Kim Geon-hee's fan cafe 'Geon Sarang' currently has about 68,000 members. This cafe was established a month earlier than Kim Hye-kyung's fan cafe, on December 19th last year, and membership surged after MBC's 'Straight' aired the '7-hour phone call.' At that time, the cafe gained attention with a 'Wonder Geon-hee' image, which superimposed Kim Geon-hee's face onto the movie 'Wonder Woman.' Recently, it displayed a poster combining Kim's face with that of actress Audrey Hepburn. The poster included the phrase "Be my queen."
