Lee Junseok, the presidential candidate of the Reform New Party, stated on the 2nd, "For the future of the Republic of Korea, the survival of conservatism, and the hope of the younger generation, I ask for your decisive choice."
On the morning of the same day, Lee wrote on his Facebook page, "According to detailed investigations and data analysis, candidate Kim Moonsoo has already clearly lost," and added, "Regardless of whether there is a unified candidacy or not, there is no way for him to win."
He criticized, "Look at the two candidates who declared their support for Kim Moonsoo and then withdrew: one is the candidate from the Liberty Unification Party who opposed the impeachment of Yoon Sukyeol until the end, and the other is Hwang Kyoan, who is floundering in conspiracy theories about election fraud."
Lee appealed, "A vote cast for this awkward coalition is a wasted vote that kills democracy twice. I, Lee Junseok, cannot stand with such forces, which is why, despite suffering many wounds, I have fought more fiercely than anyone else in directly confronting candidate Lee Jaemyung."
He continued, "Kim Moonsoo has already lost the presidential election. A vote for him is a vote that exonerates and empowers Yoon Sukyeol, Jeon Gwanghun, and Hwang Kyoan," and added, "It is not a vote for the evolution of the broad conservative camp, but a vote to protect vested interests."

He further emphasized, "A single vote for Lee Junseok is seed money for investment, asking the broad conservative camp to start anew with the strength of youth."
