Candidate Lee Jun-seok visited Seongsu-dong, known as the mecca of the so-called 'Generation MZ'.

["Just one selfie. Thank you."]

He emphasized the need to make a choice that leads to the future, not to the left or right.

He also criticized the pension reform plan that passed the plenary session in March through an agreement between the ruling and opposition parties.

He appealed for the support of young people, stating that it burdens future generations while giving more to the older generation.

In Hongdae, he climbed onto a cart made for street campaigning.

He criticized that if candidate Lee Jae-myung is elected, he would monopolize legislative, administrative, and judicial powers, leading to a 'triple power monopoly'.

Confident in his debate skills, he plans to use the TV debate as an opportunity to boost his approval ratings.
