Lee Jae Myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, stated on the 29th that he is convinced of a "Kim Moonsoo unification alliance of rebellion, corruption, and division" in reference to Lee Junseok, the Reform Party candidate.

On this afternoon, through social networking services (SNS), Lee Jae Myung referred to Lee Junseok as "the candidate who sold dog meat under the guise of lamb's head," making these remarks.
He continued, "Although he insists he will never unify, in the end, Lee Junseok will withdraw his candidacy," and added, "Trying to deceive with a facade may once again lead to being cast aside after use."
He further stated, "Although he advocates for youth-led reform, in the end, he will be unable to give up vested interests and will surrender to the forces of rebellion and corruption according to his true nature." He added, "It seems that party leadership and payment of campaign expenses are the conditions, and if this is true, it constitutes a serious election crime of candidate bribery."

In response, Lee Junseok immediately shared Lee Jae Myung's post on his own SNS, rebutting, "As someone who once believed in election fraud theories, Lee Jae Myung is once again trapped in a swamp of delusion," and added, "When you start seeing hallucinations, it's time to step down."
