Lee Jae Myung wrote on his social networking service (SNS) Facebook, "Voting is the key to opening the future," adding, "December 3 was the day when our great people protected democracy with their light. Today, June 3, is the day when the great sovereign people rebuild a new Republic of Korea through their votes."
Lee Jae Myung emphasized, "Today's vote is a vote that saves lives. That single vote is a new job, a vision for our economy, and the key to opening the future of Korea," and added, "With the same hands that stopped the destruction of democracy, and the same hands that raised cheering sticks to drive out illegal martial law and rebellion, please protect Korea once again."
He continued, "I will work as an excellent and loyal tool for the people to overcome the current crisis and finally create a true Korea that leads the world." He said it is possible to build a country strong in advanced industries, balanced development, security, culture, a model of democracy, and a 'Jalsanism' nation of happiness.
Lee Jae Myung also said, "Please show the strength of Korea once again through your votes," and added, "If the people make a wise choice today, I will repay you with a true Korea."

Kim Moonsoo also appealed on Facebook, saying, "Show through your vote that truth can defeat falsehood, that democracy can drive out dictatorship, and that justice and the rule of law are alive."
Kim Moonsoo stressed, "This presidential election is not just a simple election. It is the day we choose the future of Korea with our own hands," adding, "It is the last chance to block the monster dictator, and to protect liberal democracy, the rule of law, the market economy, and the South Korea-U.S. alliance."
He further explained, "Democracy is not something grand. Each and every one of your votes is democracy itself," and added, "When the will of the people comes together, it becomes a powerful force that protects our freedom, our children's future, and can even break through 'bulletproof glass.'"
Kim Moonsoo reiterated, "I, Kim Moonsoo, am the only alternative who can protect Korea and its people right now," and earnestly appealed, "I sincerely ask that not a single person abstain from voting."
