PPP's Kim stresses ROK-U.S. alliance after labeling DP rival Lee as pro-China during debate

Up next we turn to the conservative camp whose contender Kim Moon-soo is also campaigning here in Seoul.

For details I have Kim Do-yeon joining me live.

Do-yeon welcome back.

So I hear Kim has highlighted Seoul's ties with Washington?

Sun-hee that's right First, I'm out here at Seoul Station where the campaign is preparing for a rally to start in about an hour.

Kim's campaign hasn't held a big rally yet with this upcoming one the only one for the day Kim however kept a busy day in terms of his schedule and one key event was his visit to the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea.

There, he said if he's elected he's going to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump right away.

Take a listen.

"If I'm elected president, I will visit the United States as early as June to hold a prompt summit with President Trump and swiftly resolve issues that are hindering economic cooperation between our two countries."

He also added that he will open ways for South Korean and U.S. companies to cooperate in different industries, including advanced technology and culture, not just security.

And as he has been emphasizing, he pledged to American companies that he will lift any unnecessary regulations so that more investments are made in South Korea.

Of course, this comes after the televised debate last night where he claimed that his DP rival Lee Jae-myung was pro-China.

As his other events on his schedule, he also gave pledges to the younger generation with today being Coming of Age Day here in South Korea.

He said he will create more jobs and give them more opportunities.

In addition, he also said he will tackle the issue of marriage for young adults by lifting some of the budgetary burdens for weddings and providing them places to live.

And staying with his efforts to garner support I understand Kim has been reaching out to his conservative rival Lee Jun-seok of the Reform Party.

Do FILL us in.

That's right Sun-hee first the two met earlier today as they both participated in an event held by Seoul City on helping the less-privileged.

There, Kim apologized to the New Reform Party candidate, saying the PPP treated him badly when he was the party chairman.

He also praised Lee on his debate performance last night.

But it was also during the AMCHAM fireside talk when Kim said this in light of the question of how he's going to overturn the current landscape against the DP's Lee Jae-myung.

Take a listen.

"That uphill battle is getting worse, but if you saw the debate last night, we have Lee from the New Reform Party. He used to be the PPP's chairman but left and took a portion of the votes with him. If I unite all these people, I believe there will be a lot of changes to the scene."

Now, Lee Jun-seok rejected any idea of a merger with Kim.

In addition, looking at all the polls out there the two's approval rating combined still doesn't beat their DP rival.

But, as the race goes on with more exposure to voters, ratings will fluctuate, and the so-called anti-Lee Jae-myung alliance could be one of the endings.

That's all for now, back to you Sun-hee.

All right Do-yeon thank you for that coverage of the conservative camp.
