[Breaking News] Lee Jun-seok to Hold Emergency Press Conference at 2 PM Demanding Kim Moon-soo's Resignation

Emergency Press Conference at 2:20 PM at the National Assembly

Lee Jun-seok, the presidential candidate of the Reform Party, will hold an emergency press conference on the 27th demanding the resignation of Kim Moon-soo, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party.

According to the Reform Party, candidate Lee is scheduled to hold this emergency press conference in front of the National Assembly Communication Hall at 2:20 PM.

It is known that candidate Lee will demand Kim's resignation on the grounds that he alone can defeat Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea.

After the press conference announcement, candidate Lee wrote on Facebook, "The bizarre concept of a Kim Moon-soo-Lee Nak-yeon joint government cannot embody the values of the moderate conservative camp. A 'square circle,' an unpaintable picture, cannot be the future," adding, "As of today, the only choice that can firmly advocate for sound fiscal policy, strong North Korea security posture, and a solid Korea-US alliance is the Lee Jun-seok government."

Candidate Lee has consistently refused to unify with candidate Kim through multiple channels. He has repeatedly stated that the only way to unify is "Kim's resignation."

Coincidentally, on this day, the People Power Party also hinted at the failure of unification. Emergency Response Committee Chairman Kim Yong-tae stated, "If the Reform Party expresses its intention not to engage in unification, it is necessary to respect that," and mentioned that candidate Kim can win in a three-way race.
