Lee Jae-myung ”resigns” as party leader...starts ”movement” for presidential election = South Korea

On the 9th, Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, South Korea's largest opposition party, announced his intention to resign from his position as party leader, beginning his preparations for the presidential election.
"I am grateful to have been able to achieve some results during my three years as party leader," Lee said, adding, "From now on, I will be starting new things."
"Thanks to the efforts of our party officials, members, and supreme committee members, as well as our local committee chairs, I am grateful for this achievement," said Lee at the party's Supreme Committee meeting held in the morning.
Lee said, "It was difficult when I left (as party leader), but my resignation (this time) seems to be in a better situation than when I left."
Lee was successfully elected as party leader for another term at the party convention in August last year, and now, eight months later, he is believed to be stepping down from his position to run for president.
Lee is reportedly considering making an "official declaration of his presidential bid" by the end of this week. Meanwhile, the party's governor, Kim Dong-yeon, of Gyeonggi Province, said:
On this day, he officially declared his candidacy for the presidential election. With this, there are now two members of the Democratic Party who have declared their candidacy, including former Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Du-kwan, who declared his candidacy on the 7th.
It is.
