[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is launching a full-scale livelihood campaign under the name "Yoon Seok-yeol Listens."

On the 5th, according to the spokesperson office of former Prosecutor General Yoon, the official name of the livelihood campaign was decided as "Yoon Seok-yeol Listens."

On the same day in the afternoon, former Prosecutor General Yoon met with Joo Han-kyu, a nuclear power expert and professor in the Department of Nuclear Engineering at Seoul National University. This was the first livelihood campaign since his declaration of political participation on the 29th of last month. Considering that Professor Joo is a representative critic of the nuclear phase-out policy, there is an analysis that former Prosecutor General Yoon intends to confront the current government. Former Prosecutor General Yoon had previously pointed out the nuclear phase-out as one of the wrong policies of the Moon Jae-in administration on the 29th of last month. The nuclear phase-out was included as a major pledge of President Moon Jae-in.

The next morning on the 6th, he will visit the National Daejeon National Cemetery. On the 5th of last month, former Prosecutor General Yoon visited the National Seoul National Cemetery and delivered a message saying, "I will create a country where those who sacrificed for the homeland do not get angry."

Later that day, former Prosecutor General Yoon will visit the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and have lunch with undergraduate and graduate students. At this meeting, former Prosecutor General Yoon plans to discuss the necessity of a proper nuclear power policy. This means he will continue his livelihood campaign with criticism of the nuclear phase-out for two consecutive days.

Meanwhile, it is expected that former Prosecutor General Yoon will decide to join the People Power Party after the livelihood campaign. After meeting with Kwon Young-se, Chairman of External Cooperation of the People Power Party, on the 3rd, former Prosecutor General Yoon said, "I am not hesitating about joining the People Power Party, but I decided to start political activities and listen to the opinions of many citizens and you all. After doing all that, the methodology is the next issue, so the basic stance has not changed," and drew a line by saying, "Just because I met with People Power Party officials does not mean that talks about joining the party will immediately arise."
