PPP's Kim rallies with theme 'Beginning of a Great Comeback,' resembling Incheon landings

Up next touch base with the latest at the conservative camp whose contender Kim Moon-soo is in Gyeonggi-do Province.

My colleague Kim Do-yeon is there as well and joins me now.

Do-yeon it's good to have you on.

So what has Kim been saying today?

Sun-hee, as you can see behind me, Kim is on stage right now delivering a speech here in Gunpo, Gyeonggi-do Province.

With early voting now underway, today’s message is centered on what he calls “The Beginning of a Great Comeback.”

He recalled his first run for parliament nearly 30 years ago—saying he was polling third until the final days, but still pulled off a win.

"I was third until the last three days before the election, but won it to become a lawmaker. Who picks parliamentary members? Citizens do. Who picks the president? Citizens do. We call this democracy, right? We're now at a crossroads of either going into democracy or a dictatorship, aren't we?"

He claims that giving his DP rival Lee Jae-myung the presidency would result in too much power concentrated in the Democratic Party.

The PPP is well aware of the uphill battle it faces—especially with its former president impeached over martial law. The party needs a dramatic shift to change the narrative.

That’s why Kim began today’s rally in Incheon—the symbolic port city where UN forces landed in 1950 during the Korean War to turn the tide. He’s now making his way westward, toward the heart of the capital region.

Now he also urged voters to go out and vote, as to turn the tide around in this battle, he needs to win through votes.

Speaking of voting Kim took part in early voting over in Incheon which in itself pundits believe is symbolic.

Do tell us more.

That's right, Sun-hee. As we discussed yesterday, he chose to vote at a booth in Lee Jae-myung's district.

While the camp has emphasized this as he went to vote with his daughter, who lives nearby he didn't try to force that idea.

Take a listen.

"Well, it's not just about Lee Jae-myung, but my daughter lives in Bucheon right across the street here. We just stopped by on our way to other rallies. Lee Jae-myung could be one of the reasons."

Now, as we know, he did have questions about whether the early voting system is being managed fairly.

There had been conspiracies and with the early voting more complicated in terms of ballot transportation and counting, some conservative activists have raised questions which Kim also agreed with.

However, he voted early for this election and says there still seem to be questions, but the party will do its best to manage it fairly.

He also says not voting is a bigger problem and urged more people to vote.

Sun-hee.

All right Do-yeon we'll let you get back to your coverage of the conservative camp.

Thank you for that report.
