Lee Jun-seok, presidential candidate of the Reform New Party, says, ”Support rate in the 10% range...stop talking about another merger” (South Korea)

Lee Jun-seok, the presidential candidate of the New Reform Party, said on the 22nd, "Credible opinion polls are starting to show approval ratings in the 10% range. The pace (of rising approval ratings) will likely accelerate."
Candidate Lee told reporters at a campaign event at Inha University in Incheon on the same day, "I think there was a net increase of about 3 percentage points (in support ratings) in the week after the past (TV) debate."
The survey was conducted by M-Brain Public, K-Stat Research, Korea Research, and Korea Research from the 19th to the previous day, targeting 1,002 men and women aged 18 or older nationwide.
The results of the National Survey of Supporters (NBS) released on the same day showed that candidate Lee's approval rating was 10%. Candidate Lee told reporters, "Regarding the possibility of unifying with Kim Moon-soo (the ruling party's candidate),
There is no need to ask such questions anymore. It is meaningless. The so-called "party power bargaining theory" that the pro-Yoon Seok-yeol faction in the ruling party offered to unify the party in exchange for the next party power.
Regarding the issue, he said, "During the election period, it is not physically possible. No one said, 'We will give you party power.' Come (to the People's Power) and please play a role in the party. Then we will help you."
Candidate Lee said, "It seems that some of the pro-Han Dong-hoon people have the intention to use this in a battle for party power against the pro-Yoon Seok-yeol.
The power of the people cannot save them,” he said. Ham Ik-byeong, the joint election committee chair, commented on the allegations of Chief Judge Ji Gwi-yeon’s “brothel entertainment” in a YouTube broadcast the day before.
Regarding his statement that "There is no one my age who hasn't been to a cabaret club," he said, "That was a very personal statement."
Candidate Lee said, "If there are any shortcomings in my remarks, I, the candidate who invited them, will apologize twice.
"We will provide guidance to prevent this from happening," he said. The poll cited in this article was conducted by telephone interview using a virtual mobile phone number (100%).
