[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] On the 13th, Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Yoon Seok-youl, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, each shared their thoughts after completing their registration for the March 9 presidential election. Candidate Lee said, "I will take on this responsibility with the determination to fully take charge of the lives of the people and the future of the Republic of Korea," while Candidate Yoon stated, "I will restore the fallen liberal democracy and the rule of law, recover the value of fairness that transcends eras and generations, and surely rebuild a just Republic of Korea."


After completing his presidential candidate registration through a proxy on the same day, Candidate Lee posted on Facebook, "We will overcome internal and external crises and surely create new hope," adding, "We will boldly proceed on the path of overcoming crises, national unity, economic growth, livelihood recovery, reform completion, and peace and prosperity."


He continued, "With confidence in victory, I will take one step at a time among the people, together with the people," and said, "Please join me on this path."


Candidate Yoon also registered as a presidential candidate through a proxy and emphasized on Facebook, "Once again, I deeply feel the infinite responsibility," adding, "Responsible change is my original intention and mission."



Candidate Yoon explained, "I will repay the call to create a society where dreams can be freely nurtured in any region and a country where fair opportunities are guaranteed to everyone through actions," and said, "Beyond division and ideology that divide the people, I will strive harder to move forward together with integration and common sense, under the principle that everyone is equal before the law, and beyond vested interests toward innovation."
