[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] On the 27th, Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, posted a 'proof shot' of his subway commuter pass recharge receipt on his Facebook.

In his post, he marked his location as Madeul Station on Seoul Subway Line 7 and said, "Because of the party convention, I thought I wouldn't be able to use all 60 rides on my commuter pass this month as I kept traveling to the provinces in the early part of the month, but with 2 days left, I used all 60 rides."

He also added, "The indescribable sense of accomplishment I feel every time I recharge my commuter pass."

The subway commuter pass is a system that offers a discount when prepaid for up to 60 rides within 30 days. Users can select the type of commuter pass fare they want to use, and even if the period has passed 30 days or all 60 rides have been used, the pass cannot be used regardless of remaining time or rides.

It is known that even after his appointment as leader, Lee has been commuting by subway instead of using a dedicated vehicle with a driver assigned. On the 13th, during his first commute to the National Assembly after his appointment, he was spotted using 'Ddareungi,' Seoul's public shared bicycle, which became a hot topic.
