[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Yoon Young-seok, a member of the People Power Party, requested ahead of President Moon Jae-in's press conference that he express his intention to grant pardons during the press conference, saying, "Let's end the vicious cycle of political revenge with the pardons of the two former presidents."

On the 18th, Yoon said on Facebook, "One of the most serious corrupt practices of the Moon administration was the harsh political revenge against former presidents and former government officials."

He added, "The Supreme Court rulings on the two former presidents, Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak, have all been finalized," and urged a decision, saying, "The pardons of the two former presidents are ultimately a matter of timing and will come as an inevitable choice."

Yoon said, "President Moon should not only be concerned about his supporters' opinions but also make a prompt decision on pardoning the two former presidents for national unity and the future of our politics."
