The Democratic Party of Korea has nominated Lee Jae-myung as its candidate for the upcoming presidential election scheduled for June 3. Lee, who gained approximately 90% of the party's primary vote, aims to guide the nation towards resolution of political turmoil and economic stability. In his speeches, he criticized former President Yoon Suk-yeol's attempt at martial law, drawing parallels to past authoritarianism. With a strong lead in opinion polls, he seeks to position South Korea as an exemplary democracy while pushing for economic equality and better relations with North Korea.
Lee stated, "I am not only the candidate of the Democratic Party, but of all people who yearn for the end of insurrection, the overcoming of crisis, and the pursuit of unity and happiness."
As he described the situation under Yoon's leadership, Lee emphasized, "Yoon's martial law attempt resembles actions of past authoritarian leaders and is a significant threat to democracy in South Korea."
