In the Democratic Party, the three candidates, Lee Jae-myung, Park Yong-jin, and Kang Hoon-sik, who had reached the finals of the party's representative election, started full-scale competition starting with an open debate.

However, from the first day, Rep. Lee Jae-myung's remarks that people with low educational background and low income support the people's power a lot became controversial.

Lee Jae-myung, Park Yong-jin, and Kang Hoon-sik reunited one day after passing the cut-off.



Each of them appealed for support, saying that they were the party leader and the right person for 'political reform'.



[Lee Jae-myung/Democratic Party Member: We will create a proper politics and a proper Democratic Party that conforms to the people's sovereignty.]



[Park Yong-jin/Democratic Party Member: (The people) can say, 'The Democratic Party is now really remade like a Democratic Party'. I will become the leader of such a Democratic Party that exists.]



[Hoon-sik Kang/Rep. of the Democratic Party: Our mission is to overcome generational and gender conflicts is the way to power through national unity.]



But within half a day, Rep. Lee Jae-myung’s remarks were new. It created controversy.



[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party Assemblyman: High-education, high-income people, so-called rich people, have more supporters of us.

It is a sad reality that there are many supporters of national power among low-income people with low educational background.

It 's because of the media.]



Right now, the People's Power protested that it strongly condemned the remarks to divide the people.



Competitors Park Yong-jin and Kang Hoon-shik also fired at them saying, "It's a really dangerous idea" and "We need to reflect on dichotomy politics."



With the full-fledged competition starting, Rep. Lee will set out to capture the hearts and minds of the people in Daegu and Gyeongbuk tomorrow.



The point of unification is expected to be a variable for lawmakers Yong-Jin Park and Hoon-Sik Kang, who are opposed to the 'Lee Jae-myung trend theory'.



Both of them are contemplating a reverse pole through unification, but Assemblyman Park and Ban Lee Jae-myung, who said that we will reduce resignation through early unification and create a one-on-one composition, are expected to continue pushing and pulling over the weekend because the calculation method is different between Assemblyman Ban Lee Jae-myung and Assemblyman Kang.
