This means that even if the Reform New Party does not unify its presidential candidates, Lee Jae-myung and his party can still beat the Democratic Party's presidential candidate.
On the same day, Chairman Kim wrote on his Facebook page, "Candidate Kim Moon-soo will maximize the expansion of the centrist cause, while candidate Lee Jun-seok will pursue progressive reform.
"Let's maximize the support of progressive voters and work together to prevent the emergence of a Lee Jae-myung regime. Candidate Lee Jun-seok will also agree to this common goal," he wrote.
Kim Jong Un, who had been sending persistent calls to Lee Jun-seok to become the chairman of the emergency response committee, said in the afternoon of the same day
When he met with reporters earlier, he changed his mind and said, "If he makes it clear that he has no intention of unifying the party into a new reform party, then we need to respect that intention."
With the early voting date, which is essentially the Maginot Line for unification, just two days away, candidate Lee Jun-seok has announced his intention to complete the presidential election.
It is analyzed that if he accelerates his campaign, he will focus on the ``Kim Moon-soo self-empowerment theory.'' Candidate Lee Jun-seok held an emergency press conference in the afternoon of the same day and said, ``Unifying the candidates with the forces responsible for the emergency law is the only way to achieve this election.
"The Korean people who are defending a free democracy know very well that preventing someone from taking power is the way to achieve true political reform in the Republic of Korea. The power of the people is the power of the people.
"During the by-election process, we chose candidate Kim Moon-soo through a revolution based on party member sovereignty. Now, in the general election, which will see a three-way showdown, the Korean people will achieve a revolution based on citizen sovereignty," he said.
He also said, "We must create a revolution for citizens to pursue their own political inclinations and stop the monstrous dictatorial regime of a potential criminal."
"We will achieve victory together with candidate Lee Jun-seok on the front lines of protecting liberal democracy," he added.
