[Asia Economy Reporters Koo Chae-eun, Kim Young-won] On the 5th, Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, targeted Yoon Seok-yeol of the People Power Party, saying, "Whether it's managing a household or a small club meeting, it completely depends on who the chairman is," and added, "How great would it be to entrust the presidency to a professional with proven competence who is capable, responsible, experienced, and verified?"

On the same day, during a campaign rally in Hanam, Gyeonggi Province, Lee said, "In the end, elections belong to those who earnestly dream of victory." He pledged, "I will do my best to win the hearts of the people until the end by speaking about overcoming crises, the economy, unity, and peace with the mindset of becoming a faithful servant of the people without resorting to criticism."

He stated, "Let us make the earnestness and urgency we had in the 2002 presidential election our strongest weapon for victory." He questioned whether to "let a novice or amateur practice state affairs or entrust national management to a professional with proven skills."

Regarding the early voting rate reaching an all-time high, Lee expressed, "First, I thank the greatness of the people," and said, "Whoever they voted for, it is the great will of our people itself." He continued, "It is the mission of politicians like us to inherit that great will and pursue politics of national unity," adding, "Interpreting the will of the sovereigns of a democratic republic in a self-serving way is truly a betrayal of the sovereigns."
