[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Kim Jong-in, the Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, said that he believes former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol has captured a "moment of the star," and if he prepares well, he could truly become a "real star."

On the 26th, Kim appeared on CBS Radio's "Kim Hyun-jung's News Show" and said about former Prosecutor General Yoon, "(He has) captured the moment of the star, so now if he prepares, he will catch the real star." Kim had previously described Yoon, who has rapidly emerged as a "presidential candidate," on the 8th as having "seized the moment of the star."

When asked by the host, "Do you think (former Prosecutor General Yoon) will succeed in catching the star?" Kim replied, "It depends on how he conducts himself. When a person like that appears, to put it bluntly, many flies gather around him," adding, "He has to choose which flies to swat away and which to accept, and how well he manages that going forward will determine his success."

Regarding criticisms that former Prosecutor General Yoon lacks experience in diplomacy and economic fields due to his background solely as a prosecutor, Kim pointed out, "Looking at past presidents of our country, there are hardly any who knew everything."

He further evaluated that Yoon is not just a simple prosecutor. Kim said, "He seems to have gone through many ups and downs himself and has read many books over time. So, judging by what he says, he is not just a simple prosecutor," emphasizing, "From the beginning, I said he is a person with considerable political acumen."

Kim also mentioned, "(If Yoon) says let's meet once, then it is possible to meet." He did not omit advice directed at Yoon. Kim said, "What I want to ask someone who is going to be president is this: the moment you become president, if you become obsessed with your close aides, family, or friends, I tell you, you will never succeed."
