Democratic presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung fired a so-called 'boost kick' at a rally in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do on the 19th, emphasizing the easing of COVID-19 quarantine and expansion of compensation for self-employed and small business owners.



Candidate Jae-myung Lee, during a speech at a campaign held in front of Chonbuk National University today, introduced the anecdote that Seongnam FC, a professional soccer team, always lost against Jeonbuk Hyundai, and said that he would 'shoot'.



After a while, candidate Lee made a 'high kick' by raising his leg high and exclaimed, "Corona 19 is a hell of a goal."



Candidate Lee also said in relation to quarantine guidelines, "If the situation changes, the response must also change."



He continued, “It is much better to thoroughly prepare for problems that arise than to struggle to prevent them.” “It is necessary to switch to a flexible and smart quarantine, thoroughly prepare for side effects and serious consequences and minimize economic damage.” said.



Candidate Lee emphasized, "From March 10, after consultation with the government, those who received booster shots three times immediately, there is no problem even if they are open 24 hours.



An official of the Democratic Party's election campaign named Lee's kick today a 'boost kick'.



There is also an interpretation that the action is in response to the 'uppercut' of the People's Power candidate Yoon Seok-yeol.



Candidate Lee pointed out that the Democratic Party alone handled the supplementary budget bill by the Special Committee on Budget and Settlement of the National Assembly, saying, "What kind of attitude is the people's power now, and they are waiting for people to die with unrealizable conditions."



Then, he said, "We were fighting over the supplementary budget, and the Democratic Party was eventually forced to handle it."



He continued, "Isn't it necessary to start small? If it's not enough, why don't we do it next time?" He said, "After March 9, that Lee Jae-myung will make up for all the losses even if he issues a special emergency financial order rather than an additional budget." re-emphasized.
