Live from DP Campaign HQ: DP election campaign committee gathers to watch exit poll; Lee remains at home

Let's first check in with our campaign correspondents.

Our Shin Ha-young has been following the campaign of the Democratic Party of Korea's Lee Jae-myung.

Ha-young, what are you hearing from inside the campaign?

Jung-min. I'm currently at the campaign headquarters of the Democratic Party of Korea, set up inside the National Assembly Members' Office Building.

As you can see behind me, this place is now bustling with media crews ready to capture the moment the exit polls are released.

Members of the election campaign committee have started gathering here to watch the exit poll results together, which are set to be announced in about 30 minutes.

However, DP candidate Lee Jae-myung is not here, as he is currently staying at his home in Incheon's Gyeyang-gu District and has no official schedule for the day.

He's expected to come here to the campaign headquarters once the election results begin to take shape.

Earlier today, in a social media post, Lee urged people to vote, saying that only voting can stop what he describes as an insurrection that has continued since the December martial law declaration and bring a new era of hope.

He added that he would serve as a faithful tool for the people to help them overcome the crisis.

The DP believes Lee has the upper hand, given that he was leading in national polls before the blackout for new polls six days ago.

But still, there's a sense of caution, with party members saying they can't let their guard down until the very end.

Jung-min.
