[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Seong Il-jong, Emergency Response Committee member of the United Future Party, stated on the 7th regarding the mention of Representative Yoon Hee-sook as a candidate for next year's Seoul mayoral by-election, “Representative Yoon is an economic expert and a very outstanding and brilliant talent,” adding, “It is up to the people to judge by observing Representative Yoon's future legislative activities.”

On the same day, on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show,' Committee member Seong said, “Politics, regardless of the player, is about serving the demands of the people according to the flow of the times,” and added, “Whether a first-term or multi-term lawmaker, it is up to the people to judge, and one should respond accordingly through actions.”

Regarding Representative Yoon's 5-minute speech, Committee member Seong evaluated, “She spoke exactly as it was,” and said, “Without adding or subtracting anything, she appealed directly to the pain the people are experiencing, which made her appeal more compelling.”

On the party's rising approval ratings, Committee member Seong said, “The biggest factor is the disappointment with this administration. The political slogans they initially promoted are being revealed as lies and hypocrisy,” and added, “It seems that the public's doubts are now exploding.”

Committee member Seong also said, “Whether it is nuclear phase-out, income-led growth, housing issues, or various other matters, has the Moon Jae-in administration done anything so far?” and added, “As the policy failures accumulate, I think people are beginning to see this administration clearly.”
