On this day, Lee will campaign in several districts of Incheon, starting with Namdong-gu in the afternoon, followed by Bupyeong-gu, Seo-gu, and Gyeyang-gu. Cho Seungrae, spokesperson for the Democratic Party’s election committee, stated during a morning briefing, "In Incheon, a city that has built a history of inclusion and unity, Lee will appeal for a dream of a unified Republic of Korea that moves beyond an era of division and confrontation, and will present a vision to propel the country as a leader in the 'K-Economy.'"

Lee has been campaigning in the metropolitan area for three consecutive days, visiting Yongsan-gu, Yeongdeungpo-gu, and Mapo-gu in Seoul on May 19, and Uijeongbu, Goyang, Paju, and Gimpo in Gyeonggi Province on May 20. In Gyeonggi, he emphasized his experience as mayor of Seongnam and governor of Gyeonggi, building a sense of familiarity with local residents. In Incheon, he is expected to highlight his own constituency, Gyeyang-gu.

For his campaign pledges in Incheon, Lee has promised to foster the logistics and bio industries. His key pledges for the region include: ▲ Developing Songdo-Yeongjongdo-Siheung as a bio industry hub ▲ Making a major leap as a global logistics hub by linking airports, ports, and hinterland cities ▲ Transforming aging industrial complexes in the metropolitan area, such as Namdong Industrial Complex, into smart green industrial complexes ▲ Creating a specialized aviation industry complex in Yeongjong.

Spokesperson Cho said, "At Guwol Rodeo Square in Namdong-gu, Incheon, Lee will present strategies for national unity. At the focused campaign rally at the north plaza of Bupyeong Station, he will outline strategies to make Korea an economic powerhouse leading the world with top-tier logistics and bio industries through the close integration of airports, ports, and hinterland cities." He added, "At the Gyeyang Station rally, Lee will express his gratitude for the support that helped him rise again as a politician, and will discuss development plans such as reorganizing smart green industrial complexes, establishing a specialized aviation industry complex, and attracting international organizations."

Meanwhile, at the Goyang campaign site the previous day, Lee criticized the People Power Party for using his comment that "the cost of coffee is 120 won" as material for attacks, stating, "It is wrong to fabricate and distort the other party's words."
