He continued, "When Prosecutor General Yoon is in office, he should quietly undergo investigation, be cleanly punished, and finish neatly," and criticized, "Looking at former Presidential Chief of Staff Im Jong-seok, his attitude during the investigation was quite poor."


Meanwhile, according to a poll commissioned by Segye Ilbo to the polling agency Research & Research, conducted from the 26th to the 28th among 1,007 adults aged 18 and over nationwide (sampling error ±3.1%p, confidence level 95%), Prosecutor General Yoon ranked second with 10.8% support, surpassing Liberty Korea Party leader Hwang Kyo-ahn (10.1%) and following former Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon (32.2%).


Yoon recorded the highest support within the undecided group at 15.8%. He also gained 28.9% support among supporters of the New Conservative Party, competing closely within the margin of error with Representative Yoo Seung-min. Among Liberty Korea Party supporters, Hwang received overwhelming support, but 19.6% preferred Yoon. Among conservative respondents, Yoon trailed Hwang (26.4%) with 19.1%, but among moderate respondents, he led Hwang (6.3%) with 11.9%.



The sample was drawn using the RDD method for landline and mobile phones (landline 15% + mobile 85%) and conducted through a structured questionnaire via 1:1 telephone interviews (CATI). The response rate was 10.1% (total call attempts 9,946). Detailed information can be found on the Central Election Poll Deliberation Commission website.
