[Asia Economy reporters Naju-seok and Lee Myung-hwan] Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, questioned Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, on the "comprehensive ROK-US alliance" on the 25th. He asked what more there is to do since it has already been agreed upon through the ROK-US summit.

At the 2nd presidential candidate debate hosted by the National Election Commission, Candidate Lee said, "What Candidate Yoon proposed as a new comprehensive security alliance is not new; it includes what was agreed upon at the ROK-US summit," adding, "There are many talks about creating something new, so why is he saying he will do it again?"

In response, Candidate Yoon said, "Because security and economy cannot be separated, not just military matters, a comprehensive alliance is necessary," and added, "Do I have to come up with a completely new theory?"

Candidate Lee then said, "The National Security Council (NSC) was held, but he is saying to hold an NSC meeting," and asked, "Have you ever heard the phrase 'Dooly who came riding on a glacier' in the market?" To this, Candidate Yoon replied, "Please ask normal questions."
