[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Kim Namguk, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's recent actions, saying, "It is absurd that a candidate who is so unprepared is showing high approval ratings and is trying to run for president by cramming with subject-specific 'private tutoring' teachers in a crash course manner."

On the 20th, Kim posted on his Facebook under the title, "Former Prosecutor General Yoon is still cramming with 'private tutoring'; this means he is currently not prepared at all to run," expressing these views.

He began by saying, "It has almost been three months since former Prosecutor General Yoon has been almost completely reclusive," and added, "Occasionally, there are reports relayed by third parties about him meeting someone, hearing some stories, or studying something."

He continued, "Today it's semiconductor studies, yesterday labor, the day before foreign affairs, with articles like 'Yoon Seok-yeol studying for the presidential election,'" and said, "It seems he is cramming for next year's presidential election. Like a student attending subject-specific private tutoring teachers and taking a 'short-term intensive' course."

He argued, "This means that former Prosecutor General Yoon is still not sufficiently studied and is not ready to take the test as a presidential candidate," and added, "Naturally, the public thinks, 'The exam is just around the corner, and he is still studying?' and 'Can cramming really improve his skills?'"

Kim said, "The public cannot help but feel anxious and worried about this side of former Prosecutor General Yoon," and criticized, "It is only natural to be concerned when someone who wants to be president next year is only now visiting semiconductor research institutes asking about 'semiconductor wafers and substrate concepts.'"

He stated, "We should really be thankful that former Prosecutor General Yoon is not a politician belonging to our Democratic Party," and said, "If he were a member of our Democratic Party, some media would have severely criticized him for leisurely touring semiconductor research institutes and asking about concepts during the semiconductor war."

He strongly criticized, "It is nothing but 'showing off,' and it is not even 'superficial studying'."

Furthermore, he pointed out, "The current image of former Prosecutor General Yoon is that of a presidential candidate who is doing 'cramming' just because of a sudden rise in approval ratings without any preparation or consideration for the 'presidency,'" and said, "In short, he is a presidential candidate who is completely unprepared. It is worrisome and concerning."

He added, "When a regime is taken over without any deep reflection or substance, relying on mirage-like approval ratings, not only the president himself but also the Republic of Korea and its people become unhappy," and said, "I want to see what Yoon Seok-yeol's content and substance really are right now. I want to see Yoon engaging in in-depth debates with various prominent politicians."

On the 19th, Kim also criticized, saying, "It feels like most of the media are participating in making Yoon Seok-yeol president," and "The media's flattery is so blatant that it is truly embarrassing."

Earlier, on the 17th, former Prosecutor General Yoon visited the Seoul National University Semiconductor Joint Research Center and toured the facilities for about four hours under the guidance of Jeong Deokgyun, Chair Professor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University, and Lee Jongho, the director of the research center.
