[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jin-young] Ahn Min-seok, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 23rd about the so-called ‘Yoon Seok-yeol X-file,’ which is known to contain suspicions related to former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and his in-laws, “It is only a trailer. Various versions of the suspicion files about former Prosecutor General Yoon are already circulating,” and added, “If he runs as a presidential candidate, he should disclose and explain the contents himself.”


On the same day, Ahn criticized through his Facebook, saying, “Politics is not something to be taken lightly. Prosecutors have absolute power and forcibly strip the people bare, but presidential candidates must strip themselves bare in front of tens of millions of people.”


He said, “The Yoon Seok-yeol X-file is something that neither the public nor the Yeouido political circles can understand at all. It is only causing curiosity as it is circulated among members of the People Power Party,” and urged, “Why not just disclose the Yoon Seok-yeol X-file? Whoever first brought out the file, whether it is the People Power Party or Yoon Seok-yeol himself, should disclose the file.”


He continued, “Presumably, the Yoon Seok-yeol X-file was created somewhere within the People Power Party or produced around the political circles as a ‘summary version of various suspicions about Prosecutor General Yoon’s family.’ Ironically, the side that pulled this out to ‘shake Yoon Seok-yeol’ is not the Democratic Party but the People Power Party,” and added, “Those who did not originally consider former Prosecutor General Yoon as Plan A used it to promote their own candidates within the party, and those who supported Yoon as Plan A likely started to activate Plan B.”



He emphasized, “There is a high possibility that the cornered former Prosecutor General Yoon will make a sudden declaration of joining the People Power Party, but even if that happens, the Yoon Seok-yeol X-file is just the beginning.”
