[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Choyoung] Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol left his first political message on his social media service (SNS) on the 1st, and Rep. Jung Cheong-rae of the Democratic Party of Korea once again questioned Yoon's Korean language skills.

Earlier, Yoon said on his Facebook that day, "Now, as the people's Yoon Seok-yeol, I take a new step," adding, "Step by step, I will not be shaken by any criticism or temptation."

Regarding this, Rep. Jung said on the same day, "I've heard the phrase 'I will not succumb or be shaken by any pressure or oppression,' but this political expression 'I will not be shaken by any temptation' is the first time I've heard," and pointed out, "It sounds unnatural and somewhat strange."

He added, "'I will not fall into temptation' or 'I will resist temptation' are expressions that exist," and sarcastically remarked, "I don't know what kind of temptation there was, but anyway, he is opening a new horizon of political expressions."

He continued, "Is it that he will not be shaken by the temptation to join the People Power Party or not?" and added, "He seems to have been shaken a lot these past few days."

Earlier, on the 16th of last month, Rep. Jung also criticized Yoon's expression "opening the horizon," which he wrote in the guestbook when visiting the Kim Dae-jung Library, saying it did not fit the context in a post titled "How can you lead a country without knowing Korean?"
