[Asia Economy Reporters Koo Chae-eun, Geum Bo-ryeong] The presidential candidates from both ruling and opposition parties will face off in the third TV debate hosted by the National Election Commission at 8 PM on the 2nd. As this is the last TV debate before early voting, candidates such as Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party and Yoon Seok-youl of the People Power Party are expected to engage in fierce exchanges over 'gender issues' including the abolition of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.

The theme of the debate will be social issues. Each candidate will express their views on ▲welfare policies and funding measures ▲responses to the population cliff, and will engage in a leading debate on women's policies and pension reform.

Intense clashes are also expected over the Daejang-dong scandal. Candidate Lee plans to respond with a strategy of 'counterattack beyond defense' against the Daejang-dong allegations. He is expected to counterattack by targeting Yoon’s inadequate investigation of the Busan Savings Bank case, while building a joint front with other candidates to encircle Yoon. Candidate Yoon plans to retaliate by bringing up the controversies surrounding 'Daejang-dong' and 'Baekhyeon-dong,' accusing Lee of pursuing personal gain.
