[Asia Economy Reporter Shinwon Yoon] Professor Lee Guk-jong of Ajou University appeared on the YouTube channel of Choi Yoon-hee, the United Future Party candidate running for the 21st National Assembly election in the Osan district.

Recently, Professor Lee appeared on Choi Yoon-hee's YouTube channel, 'Choi Yoon-hee TV.' In the video, he introduced himself as "Surgeon Lee Guk-jong" and shared his connection with candidate Choi by saying, "I have worked with Admiral Choi Yoon-hee for a long time in the Navy."

He mentioned the 2011 Aden Bay Dawn operation, stating, "Our Navy and Captain Seok Hae-gyun were under heavy gunfire from Somali pirates and were in a life-threatening situation," and added, "At that time, Admiral Choi Yoon-hee dispatched medical personnel, including myself, to the site to save the lives of Navy soldiers and Captain Seok Hae-gyun."

Regarding candidate Choi, he said, "I am confident that she will accomplish even greater things in the future," and asked, "I request the citizens to join in efforts to make South Korea safer and a more advanced society."

The video was reportedly filmed directly by Professor Lee on his mobile phone last month and delivered to the candidate's team.

The candidate's team stated, "Please understand this as support stemming from their Navy connection rather than a politically motivated endorsement video."

This election marks candidate Choi's first entry into politics, and she will face off against four-term Democratic Party member Ahn Min-seok in Osan City.
