Reform Party leader continues young voter outreach as last minute merger attempt fails

Also on Thursday, Reform Party candidate Lee Jun-seok also cast his ballot at an early voting station in Hwaseong City Gyeonggi-do Province

which he added was the closest to where he lives.

On his campaign agenda for Thursday were talks with tech workers, college students, and a visit to a popular street food alley in central Seoul.

Also, pundits believe a merger between Lee Jun-seok and Kim Moon-soo is now essentially out of the equation as early voting has kicked off.
