Presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung tried to make domestic conservatives out of a sense of wariness against “Japan, an enemy nation,” while candidate Yoon Seok-yeol attempted to make the US Republican party’s arms-strengthening conservatives “reliance on Japan for an external strategic monopoly.”
At a foreign press conference on the 25th, Democratic Party candidate Lee referred to Japan as 'the enemy country' and said, "In the past, the desire to advance into the continent was revealed. He said that he tried to make the country hard-lined.
Candidate Lee in particular said, “In Korea, the legislative, judicial, and administrative divisions are clearly separated under the constitution, but Japan is a country in which the administration and the judicial system are not completely separated and judicial execution can be changed according to administrative demands.” showed nationalist tendencies.
At the Hankook Ilbo forum on the 25th, Candidate Yoon for People's Strength blocked public access to international politics, saying, "I will not repeat the mistake of dividing the people into pro-Japanese and anti-Japanese and binding them to the past of Korea-Japan relations." announced a future monopoly by
Candidate Yoon continued, "Under the current administration, Korea-Japan relations have reached their worst since the normalization of diplomatic relations. This is because diplomacy has entered domestic politics rather than putting national interests first." system orientation.
He continued, "We are trying to create a future-oriented Korea-Japan relationship by unraveling the relationship between Korea and Japan, which has been blocked by distrust and cynicism. He said that he would be conservative in 'expanding freedom and universal human rights'.
In the same forum, Candidate Lee said, "The state of war on the Korean Peninsula continues. This state of war must be ended as soon as possible for whatever reason." Regarding the declaration of an end to the war, "I think Japanese politics can make such a claim. It is in the national interest of Japan." Because it does,” he said, directly related to domestic politics in Japan.
At the TV Chosun forum on the 22nd, Candidate Yoon said, "I will firmly defend the constitutional values of liberal democracy and a market economy." , expressed the pressure of 'the specificity of human rights in China' due to the spread of 'universality of human rights', saying, "Korea must show that it is pursuing universal values in the international community."
At a press conference on the 12th, Candidate Yoon said, "If only the end of the war is separated and a political declaration is made, the side effects are huge." He stated the reason for the 'neutralization of US bases in Japan' and said, "If North Korea's denuclearization progresses irreversibly and economic cooperation relations are established, a peace treaty and a declaration of an end to the war can go hand in hand."
Candidate Lee said at the Hankook Ilbo forum, "From our point of view, we must clearly change the state of armistice to the end of the war and develop a relationship that goes beyond a peace treaty to coexist and co-prosper with each other." It should be pointed out by expressing a clear position in terms of protecting the national interest of Japan.”
Candidate Lee told foreign reporters about the North Korean policy, “I believe that the current appeasement policy is more effective than the hard sanctions policy.” Regarding this, he announced that he would meet directly with U.S. President Joe Biden and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un with a solution of 'conditional sanctions relief and simultaneous phased action', indicating the succession of direct trade between the leaders of Republican Trump's 'CIA-led top-down'.
The US Democratic Party's Biden system has shifted to 'state-run diplomacy' and 'disarmament with China'.
Both candidates avoid taking issue with North Korea and Japan over the 'disarmament agreement' specified in the Panmunjom Declaration, and use Japan as a 'speciality material' for the succession of the Moon Jae-in administration's power-based peace and the Trump Republican Party's end-of-war declaration strategy. As a result, he announced a hard-line remuneration policy to strengthen military arms.
