And the Reform Party candidate Lee Jun-seok also made sure to cement his presence in the conservative stronghold of Daegu City.

Starting with a rally in the city's commercial center, Lee then sat down for lunch with students at a university cafeteria before heading for talks with medical professionals.

The 40-year-old candidate declared himself the future of Daegu, emphasizing his youth and intentions to interact directly with all those involved.
