DP's Lee to hold final rally at Seoul's Yeouido Park, highlighting 'Revolution of Light'

With election day slated for tomorrow today is the final day of campaigning for the presidential contenders.

That being said our political correspondent Shin Ha-young is standing by at a rally of liberal party contender Lee Jae-myung who will speak to supporters at Yeouido Park here in Seoul.

Ha-young it's good to have you on.

Do start us off.

Sunny. Indeed, today is the final day of the official campaign period.

I’m here at Yeouido Park in western Seoul, where Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung will stage the finale to his official campaign.

Right now, the area is getting ready for the rally, and I've already seen some people gathering in anticipation.

Choosing Yeouido as the site of the end of his campaign is meant to highlight what this snap election is really about.

Yeouido is home to the National Assembly, where a vote put an end to December's martial law saga.

It's also where protesters spent a cold winter with light sticks, calling for the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Just like at the start of his campaign, Lee is expected to highlight his "Revolution of Light" message and emphasize his commitment to ending what he describes as an insurrection.

The DP has been calling Yoon’s brief imposition of martial law an act of "insurrection" that undermined the constitutional order.

The party's campaign will begin at 7:30 PM and Lee is expected to arrive here at 8 PM to deliver a speech.

Meanwhile, Lee focused his last day of rallies on Seoul and the surrounding metropolitan area.

Earlier today he visited Seongnam City in Gyeonggi-do Province, not only the city where he grew up, but also where he was first elected to public office as the city's mayor in 2010.

Take a listen.

"Your vote is the start of real change turning despair into hope, division into unity, and stagnation into growth. Trust Lee Jae-myung, a loyal and capable public servant who has always delivered results through action. I’ll get the job done."

After wrapping up his rally in Yeouido, he’ll turn to YouTube Live at 10 PM to make a final appeal to voters.

Ha-young the official campaign period comes to a close in a few hours.

That being said do walk us through Lee Jae-myung's 22-day campaign.

Well, Sunny, I’ve been covering Lee Jae-myung’s campaign from the day he announced his candidacy, which took me all over the country.

According to the Democratic Party, Lee held 66 rallies nationwide during the 22-day official campaign period.

He traveled over 5-thousand kilometers and met more than 236-thousand people on the trail.

Unlike past campaigns that focused mostly on the capital area, over half of his rallies were held outside Seoul.

As he traveled across the country, he repeatedly emphasized two main goals: bringing the country together and putting an end to insurrection.

Another notable point is that Lee delivered his rally speeches from behind bulletproof glass.

This follows growing concerns within the party and among supporters over his safety, especially considering he was stabbed in the neck during a visit to Busan in January last year.

His camp has also restricted access near the stage and is limiting physical contact with supporters, including handshakes.

That's all for this hour. Back to you Sunny.

All right Ha-young thank you for now.

That was our Shin Ha-young with the latest from the liberal camp.
