[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Bo-ryeong] On the 29th, Hong Joon-pyo, a member of the People Power Party, raised his voice toward former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who declared his political participation, saying, "It is right for him to join our party and participate in the party primary."

At a meeting with reporters after the 'In-depth Survey Results National Report Conference' held in Yeouido, Seoul, Hong responded to a question about former Prosecutor General Yoon, saying, "It would be good to participate in the primary schedule while engaging in policy debates and moral verification."

During his closing remarks at the National Report Conference that day, Hong also brought up former Prosecutor General Yoon. He said, "Reporters ask me about Yoon Seok-yeol when we meet, but I don't even know what the X-file is," adding, "I don't know Yoon Seok-yeol well either."

He continued, "Song Young-gil, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said I know the X-file well, but the shocking thing is that if he knows, he would know better himself," and criticized, "Suddenly, they try to attack me and slip away themselves, which is absurd."

When some suggested that Hong should refrain from criticizing candidates outside the party, he seemed to be aware of this. In response to the question, "You said on Facebook that governing the country is not easy. Do you think former Prosecutor General Yoon will demonstrate such (governing) ability?" Hong avoided a direct answer, saying, "You should ask former Prosecutor General Yoon that."

Meanwhile, the in-depth report announced by Hong that day contained an analysis based on in-depth interviews conducted with over 8,000 people nationwide from August last year to January this year. It combined the so-called 'snowflake' model introduced by former U.S. President Barack Obama in his election campaign and the one-on-one visit survey method of French President Emmanuel Macron.

Based on the in-depth report, Hong is preparing a 'Future Vision Book' that contains the spirit of the times and a future vision. It is planned to be announced in line with his declaration of candidacy for the presidential election.

At the National Report Conference that day, People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok, floor leader Kim Ki-hyun, secretary-general Han Ki-ho, chief deputy floor leader Chu Kyung-ho, and other leadership members and affiliated lawmakers attended. Leader Lee said, "I think showing an attitude of listening to and heeding many people's opinions will be a great strength for (Hong)," adding, "If he is this well prepared, I think the political journey Hong embarks on this year and next year will be very fruitful and successful."
