[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party of Korea's presidential candidate, attended the 'Incheon Rebound Forward, Incheon Economy Properly!' Bupyeong rally held at the square in front of Bupyeong Station, Incheon, on the 22nd, appealing for support.


At this event, Candidate Lee emphasized economic strengths, saying, "The captain is the one who sets the direction. If you don't even know how to read the map or understand the engineer, and just say 'We can hire a good engineer and navigator,' can you really cross the rough sea?"



At the rally site that day, supporters and Democratic Party campaigners lifted the atmosphere by singing a rewritten version of the popular song 'Namhaeng Yeolcha' titled 'Turning Crisis into Opportunity, Moving Forward Properly, Number 1 Lee Jae-myung for Me.'
