Conservative party contender Kim Moon-soo launched a "non-stop" campaign, meaning he's not going home until the election campaign is over, to rally as much as possible across the nation.
Kim Do-yeon has the latest.
Covering as much ground as possible is People Power Party presidential candidate Kim Moon-soo's last-minute push strategy.
On Friday, took off for a 90-hour trail without going home.
And as he was about to meet as many voters as possible, he started off with a long plea for votes.
"The People Power Party has had many shortcomings. I deeply reflect on and sincerely apologize for having disappointed the people. We deserve the criticism, and we will reflect on it deeply. We will not shy away from self-sacrifice, making tough decisions for the greater good, and pursuing policy innovation."
For this first day of the marathon, Kim rallied in Gyeonggi-do Province and Chungcheongbuk-do Province before wrapping it up in Wonju of Gangwon-do Province.
With the voters already casting their ballots, he's not trying to put in new messages against his rival, but has been reiterating that Lee Jae-myung has too many legal risks, and that DP will have too much power if it wins the presidency as well.
"To add to the efforts, Kim has also been appearing on stage with some well-known liberal politicians such as Son Hak-gyu and Son Hak-gyu and Jun Byung-hun, who formed their own factions as anti-Lee Jae-myung."
As for the high voter turnout in early voting, the party claimed the credit saying the number reflects anti-Lee Jae-myung sentiment and that it's also a signal that things are turning around.
"I believe this high voter turnout reflects the people's strong and resolute will to stop a monstrous dictatorship. We are moving toward a miraculous comeback."
As for the second day of his journey on Saturday, Kim is set to tour around Gangwon-do Province a bit more and head down to Gyeongsangbuk-do for rallies over the weekend.
The Gyeongsangbuk-do region, including Daegu, is a region that has not participated in early voting as much as others.
Having said that, it also means that many votes are up for grabs still in the conservative stronghold.
