[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 10th, "I sincerely hope that the next government will care for the people, respect the will of the people, comply with the flow of history, and become a successful government and a successful president who is evaluated accordingly."

Candidate Lee made these remarks during his greeting speech at the disbandment ceremony of the election campaign committee held at the Yeouido party headquarters in the afternoon.

He first said, "It was Lee Jae-myung's shortcomings that caused the defeat, not our campaign committee, the Democratic Party, party members, or supporters. You all did your best and achieved results, but we lost because Lee Jae-myung failed to make up the lacking 0.7%," and comforted those involved by saying, "All responsibility lies with this insufficient candidate."

He continued, "To the campaign committee, Democratic Party members, and supporters, while you may blame Lee Jae-myung's shortcomings, I hope you encourage and praise these people. This is my sincere wish," he emphasized.

Candidate Lee said, "I always believe in the greatness of our people," adding, "I think this choice now is also an expression of the collective intelligence of the people. Ultimately, this happened because of our shortcomings, but the people's judgment was always correct."
