He emphasized that March 9 is not the day when either Lee Jae-myung or Yoon Seok-yeol becomes president, but the day when the future of the people is decided.

On this day, Candidate Lee said in a campaign speech in front of Kkotmoe Park in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province, "March 9 is the day to decide whether a new world will open or whether we will return to the past where regressive political strife and political revenge run rampant."

He appeared to target the unification of candidates between Yoon Seok-yeol of the People Power Party and Ahn Cheol-soo of the People’s Party, which was agreed upon the previous day, emphasizing, "Politics may seem like something politicians do, but it is never politicians; it is the people themselves who do it." He raised his voice, urging, "Please decide with your own hands today, tomorrow, and on March 9."

Candidate Lee stated, "I will be your excellent tool," and expressed, "I will create a country where the people are united and can dream of the future."

On this day, Candidate Lee also emphasized balanced development, peace, security, and economy while asking for support. He said, "As of last year, the population of Hongcheon has reached the 70,000 range," adding, "I will work hard to achieve regional balanced development and build peace, as peace is also economy."

He continued, "I am a pacifist," and said, "I am different from the party that ruins the economy by deploying THAAD. Who is the competent president of economy, security, peace, and integration who will create peace, revive the economy of Hongcheon and Gangwon through balanced development, and ultimately make Korea one of the top five advanced economies?" He drew enthusiastic responses from his supporters.
