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, contacted Ahn Cheol-soo, the candidate of the People’s Party, to offer condolences after Kim Mi-kyung, a professor at Seoul National University and wife of Ahn Cheol-soo, was diagnosed with a COVID-19 outbreak.

The People’s Party stated that "Today, Candidate Ahn received text messages and phone calls from Candidate Lee and Candidate Yoon." Earlier, the People Power Party also reported that "Candidate Yoon called Candidate Ahn this afternoon to express his condolences and wished for a speedy recovery."

The contact drew significant attention as it occurred after Candidate Ahn proposed unifying the opposition candidates through a public opinion poll primary to Candidate Yoon. Regarding this, the People’s Party said, "The content of the contact was to express concern and condolences for the health of spouse Professor Kim Mi-kyung, and there was no other content whatsoever," adding, "We hope there will be no misunderstandings."

Candidate Lee also made a phone call, but since Candidate Ahn did not answer, it is reported that he received a text message instead.
