Lee said, "This election is not a contest between the People Power Party and the Democratic Party, but a contest between the People Power Party and the people," and added, "I hope the Democratic Party's excellent candidates become an effective tool for judging the Yoon Seok-yeol administration and for the people's victory."


Lee Hae-chan, standing election committee chairman, raised the level of criticism, saying, "I am not involved in practical politics, but I cannot live like this for two years," and "I have never seen such a humiliating and insulting administration." He added, "What do the people want now? Isn't it 'We cannot live like this, let's judge them'? The most important thing in an election is the sincerity of the candidate who can win the people's hearts. Only with sincerity can you win the voters' hearts."


Kim Bu-gyeom also urges candidates to watch their words

Former lawmaker Kim Bu-gyeom (standing election committee chairman) appealed, "If incompetence and recklessness continue, the achievements of this Korean community, which have been made over the difficult past half-century, may collapse here. We cannot allow that, can we? We cannot do this to our children. Please shout together that we must judge them on April 10."



Kim also requested, "Please appeal that even the legislative branch should not fall to such a ruthless and reckless administration," and added, "Candidates in our party's strong and favorable regions, I especially hope you will be more careful and truly cautious with every word you use."
