[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Won Hee-ryong, governor of Jeju Province and a presidential candidate from the People Power Party, urged former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol to engage in direct communication. He also demanded that Yoon actively participate in prosecutorial personnel matters.

On the 8th, after a real estate policy discussion held in Yeouido, Seoul, Won criticized Yoon's recent actions in an interview with reporters. He said, "All those indicted as investigation targets in the prosecutorial personnel have been promoted, and they are all seated in the Blue House's inspection line, aren't they?" He added, "Of course, Yoon is someone who came out fighting against them, but at times like this, he should reprimand and clearly state his position with confidence."

Won said, "He may think that is etiquette and the natural order, but the situation is not that relaxed, so he should immediately clarify his stance on the flawed prosecution."

He continued, "It seems he is preparing to step forward to the public after a preparation process, but now is an era where the public and politics must communicate directly," adding, "I hope we quickly move away from indirect communication through someone else and one-sided information provision."

Won emphasized, "Anyone who wants to engage in politics has the obligation to clarify all issues the public is curious about and all raised current affairs, and to accept public criticism and evaluation; that is the basic attitude." He added, "I am not trying to criticize, but I say this because the same standard applies to me as well."
