[Asia Economy Reporter Bae Kyunghwan] After the second televised legal debate, the four presidential candidates from the ruling and opposition parties are focusing their weekend campaigns on the Seoul metropolitan area. Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party candidate, is concentrating on his home turf in Gyeonggi Province, while Yoon Seok-youl, the People Power Party candidate, is visiting the western part of Seoul and Incheon.

According to political circles on the 26th, Lee is focusing on campaigning in Gyeonggi-do. Starting his campaign at the Gimpo Sau Cultural and Sports Square, he will hold a 'Drive-in' campaign at the Paju Peace Nuri Parking Lot in the afternoon. A Democratic Party official explained, "Considering the spread of COVID-19, the speech will be delivered while attendees listen from inside their vehicles."

He will also visit Uijeongbu following Goyang Ilsan Cultural Park. In the evening, he plans to attend the 'Cheer Up, Spring!' concert held at the Art Nine indoor terrace near Seoul's Isu Station.

Candidate Yoon will start his morning campaign in Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, and meet small business owners and self-employed workers at the Meokja Alley in Geomdan, Seo-gu. In the afternoon, he will continue campaigning in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, and then move to Seoul to campaign in Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu, and Sindorim, Guro-gu.

People Party candidate Ahn Cheol-soo is also targeting Seoul. Ahn will campaign in Jongno and Gangnam districts. Meanwhile, on the day of his 60th birthday, Ahn is expected to record an EBS program in the morning that will be broadcast in the evening.
