Worrying voices began to appear in the Common Democratic Party that “if this continues, we will lose.”

The “Dong-A Ilbo” comprehensively analyzed the results of recent South Korean polls, saying that although Lee Jae-myung and Yin Xiyue are evenly matched, there is still the possibility of a coalition in the opposition circle, so the situation is unfavorable for the ruling party, the Common Democratic Party. Some people in the Democratic Party’s Election Policy Committee are worried that if Lee Jae-myung’s approval rating continues to decline, the gap between Lee Jae-myung and Yin Xiyue may widen further after the Spring Festival. If the candidates in the opposition circle after the holiday unite, the Common Democratic Party may lose its chance of winning.

To this end, Lee Jae-myung decided to take a strategy of going to Gyeonggi-do before the Spring Festival.

On the 24th, before holding a press conference in Yongin City, Gyeonggi-do, Lee Jae-myung knelt down again without prior planning, and more than 30 party members in the region also participated.
