[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol expressed a preference for the People Power Party on the 29th regarding his future political path but did not present a clear direction. His specific political moves remain uncertain.

At a press conference held at the Maehun Yun Bong-gil Memorial Hall in Seocho-gu, Seoul, Yoon responded to reporters' questions about concrete plans for opposition party unification by saying, "I will meet many people and learn from senior figures with extensive political and social experience about the best way forward," adding, "I will never cause confusion or anxiety among the public, so there is no need for the public to worry about that."

Earlier, regarding his political philosophy, Yoon mentioned commonalities with the People Power Party. While his political orientation is close to the People Power Party, he indicated that he would consider specific plans such as party membership more carefully.

Yoon stated, "I place great importance on freedom," and explained, "Democracy exists to guarantee freedom, and state authority must also protect individual freedom, which means there are limits and stopping points; I do not agree with the philosophy that majority rule means everything." He added, "In terms of political philosophy, I share views with the People Power Party."

However, he said, "Regarding my future political path, I will explain before taking this position." Previously, Yoon had expressed his intention to listen to various opinions through a public sentiment tour before making political moves.
