[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Kim Jong-in, former head of the People Power Party's general election committee, said to the next president, "Whoever it is, they must stay fully alert."

On the morning of the 9th, after casting his main vote at the Pyeongchang-dong Community Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul, Kim told reporters, "If we do not accurately identify the real issues our country is facing and make efforts to properly resolve them from the beginning for the people, it will be very difficult."

However, regarding the early voting rate (36.93%) which set a record high, he said, "I am not sure which candidate benefited."

He added, "After seeing today's main vote results, how the situation will unfold can be known late in the afternoon depending on the turnout," and said, "Once voting ends, even without exit polls, we can roughly guess the outcome."
