On the same day, Lee shared a related article on his Facebook, criticizing, "They seem ready to accuse all Yonsei University students of being Democratic Party supporters."

He responded, "If I receive a school uniform as a gift at a university invitation event, wear it once, and take a photo, and they create a forced controversy over it, how can we hold an election?" adding, "They might as well demand changing the color of Seoul's main buses."

He also said, "Even if I wear a Samsung Lions uniform in Daegu, accuse me of being a Democratic Party supporter," and warned, "Don't make the usual strange remarks telling me to be careful not to create controversy. Those trying to make this a controversy need help from those around them."

On the 27th, former lawmaker Min Kyung-wook shared on his Facebook a photo of Lee wearing a blue school jumper at Korea Energy Engineering University in Naju, Jeollanam-do, writing, "Ahead of the local elections, the party leader is wearing a blue jacket with number 1 on it. Playing very well."
