<Reporter> Candidates Jae-
myung Lee, Seok-yeol Yoon, Sang-jung Shim, and Cheol-soo Ahn are going to the second court debate today.
The topic is politics, and the candidates will reveal their views on power restructuring, inter-Korean relations, and foreign and security policies, and will engage in peer verification.
In particular, a clash is expected between candidates Lee Jae-myung and Yoon Seok-yeol over North Korea policy and THAAD deployment.
Earlier yesterday, Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung visited Chungju, the hometown of his spouse.
Candidate Lee emphasized that he would become a president who saves peace and the economy, saying that People's Strength candidate Yoon Seok-yeol is escalating the war crisis with his remarks about the preemptive strike and deployment of THAAD.

Yoon Seok-yeol People's Power candidate campaigned intensively in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, the political hometown of candidate Lee Jae-myung.
This presidential election is a confrontation between an ignorant anti-constitutional force and a constitutional defender.

Justice Party candidate Shim Sang-jung met with workers at the Guro Digital Complex in Seoul.
Candidate Shim promised to enact a new labor law that would cover businesses with fewer than five employees and special employment workers and introduce a four-day work week.

Ahn Cheol-soo, candidate of the People's Party, visited the grave of Dosan Ahn Chang-ho.
