Democratic presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung heralded a major renewal. The idea is to create a 'Lee Jae-myung Democratic Party', not Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party. As a signal of change, former chairman Kim Doo-kwan resigned today (20th).

On the second day, Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung, who started his Chungcheong schedule at the market, went up to a stand in front of a store and gave an impromptu speech.
“I feel that the Democratic Party is full and does not want to move any more,” he said, raising his voice that he would now create a Democratic Party of Lee Jae-myung.
[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party Presidential Candidate: Electoral Commission, the party will start all over again, leaving only the will of the people and our responsibility. I will make it the Democratic Party of Jae-myung Lee, not Jae-myung Lee of the Democratic Party.]
Early this morning, he mentioned the 'Daejang-dong suspicion' on SNS and blamed himself for saying, "It was not enough to read the people's disappointment about unfair gains."
Candidate Lee is said to be discussing the reorganization of the mammoth-class squadron with CEO Song Young-gil into a nimble and swift organization.
A key official from Lee Jae-myung's side said, "We plan to reorganize our predecessors with a focus on personnel who share the philosophy of Lee Jae-myung."
In line with this direction, Rep. Kim Doo-kwan, who was a contender for the presidential election, announced his resignation as the chairman of the joint election, saying, "I will enter the people with the attitude of a white-collar Jong-gun."
It was interpreted as a signal for the resignation of middle-level personnel from the senior leadership team.
