[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Lee Tan-hee, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, expressed his support for Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province.
On the 23rd, Lee said on Facebook, "I based my decision on the candidate who will bring the greatest change," adding, "Among the six candidates, I believe Lee Jae-myung is the one who will bring the greatest change. He is the biggest outsider. I understand well the fate of an outsider."
Lee revealed judicial corruption to the public and led the impeachment of the related judge. He said, "The next presidential election will definitely not be easy. It will be a difficult and challenging battle," adding, "At best, it will be a 51:49 fight. Imagining losing the election feels like losing everything. It would be a betrayal to the candlelight citizens."
He emphasized, "What the entire nation eagerly awaits is 'change and hope.' We need a definite change strong enough to break down the partitions of the 'Snowpiercer'."
Lee stated, "Beyond the primary, I will propose to the candidate and speak to the people about the 'blueprint of future politics'?what democratic progressive politics should look like in the main election, after taking office, and ten years from now," adding, "With 200 days left until the presidential election, we must win. We are in a checkmate with no way to avoid it. I am starting now as well."
