[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Bo-ryeong] Na Kyung-won, a presidential candidate from the People Power Party, mentioned communication with next presidential candidates including former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl. She particularly emphasized 'direct communication' with former Prosecutor General Yoon.

On the 7th, Na appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' and stated, "I communicate not only with former Prosecutor General Yoon but also with Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, and Hong Joon-pyo, an independent lawmaker preparing to rejoin the party."

Na explained, "If I become party leader, I must bring all these people together. Such communication is important because it helps build trust."

She added, "Since Choi Jae-hyung, the head of the Board of Audit and Inspection, is currently in office, it might be uncomfortable for me to communicate with him. There is a need to respect those currently in office," and said, "I will also actively communicate with former Deputy Prime Minister for Economy Kim Dong-yeon."

When asked about direct or indirect communication with former Prosecutor General Yoon, in response to a question mentioning that 'other candidates say no,' Na replied, "I am communicating directly a lot."

Previously, former Supreme Council member Lee Jun-seok said, "I don’t think Na Kyung-won acting like a proxy for former Prosecutor General Yoon means there is communication with Yoon’s side. At least, I have not heard that from the channels I know."

In response, Na said, "Lee Jun-seok said he confirmed through various channels, but since he says such things in front of someone who communicates directly, I will no longer comment."

Regarding the so-called 'jirasi' controversy raised by former Supreme Council member Lee against Na, she said, "I was surprised to hear such talk," and rebutted, "How does he think of Na Kyung-won’s political career to say such things like jirasi, political conspiracies, and such stories?"
