[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Won Hee-ryong, the opposition presidential candidate and Governor of Jeju Province, stated on the 30th, "I now firmly recognize Yoon Seok-yeol, the former Prosecutor General, as a complete opposition candidate," and urged him to quickly join the People Power Party and compete together.

Won appeared on YTN Radio's 'Hwang Bo-seon's Morning Start' that day and said, "The direction in which former Prosecutor General Yoon thinks the regime change and the country should be made, the direction I pursue, and the direction the People Power Party pursues are largely the same."

Declaring that he and former Prosecutor General Yoon are now a 'one team,' Won said, "It is fine to criticize political parties, but one cannot ignore or avoid political parties altogether and still engage in politics," adding, "Various people intertwine and create history together. In that regard, I strongly recommend that he join quickly, compete, and also adapt."

Regarding the 'Yoon Seok-yeol X-file,' he criticized, "That itself is political engineering," and said, "Whether it exists or not, the purpose of inflating suspicions itself is slander." Won stated, "Using this ghost X-file, whose source is unknown and lacks the five Ws and one H, with no concrete way to verify it, just to damage and harm each other, is old-fashioned politics," and added, "We must strongly judge this."
