"The only way to do this is to simplify the race so that the deputy candidate withdraws and the ballot features a showdown between Lee Jun-seok and Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea," he said.
At a debate hosted by the Korea Broadcasting Journalists Club in Seoul on the same day, candidate Lee Jun-seok said, "'If we don't unify, it's your fault.' 'We will wipe you out from the political world.'
"I often hear threats like this these days. This kind of behavior clearly shows the structural problems in Korean politics," said candidate Lee Jun-seok.
If stopping the nuclear program is so important for South Korea and Kim is truly willing to do anything to achieve that goal, he should immediately withdraw his candidacy," he said.
"So the people will likely vote for Lee Jun-seok, who is free from martial law and the populism of candidate Lee Jae-myung," he said.
