Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung completed a state audit as Gyeonggi governor.



He said he needed physical time for when to resign as governor.

Representatives from Lee's side said, "It's difficult to hold a retirement ceremony this weekend." This is strong,” he said.



I am also interested in when to meet with Lee Nak-yeon, former leader of the Democratic Party.



However, former CEO Lee countered the report as 'misinformation' to some media reports, saying, "Ex-CEO Lee said he would take on any role."



Regarding the timing of the official meeting between President Moon Jae-in and Candidate Lee, passport officials predict that it will be after the resignation of the governorship and the meeting with former representative Lee.




People's Power Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, who said, "There are many people that Chun Doo-hwan was good at politics," met fierce criticism from inside and outside the party.



This morning, two days later, I expressed 'sorry'.

However, the competing candidates are, "I am sorry for what I should apologize for." Resign," and "Repent and reflect with the attitude of a hundred blasphemy."



Then, through SNS in the afternoon, candidate Yoon bowed his head, saying, "More than anyone else, I apologize to those who suffered under the Chun Doo-hwan regime."



An official from the camp Yoon Seok-yeol said, "I persuaded Yoon that an apology was necessary for an overwhelming victory."
