[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Woo Sang-ho, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, sharply criticized former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's presidential campaign, saying, "It seems he is receiving consulting from an amateur political expert."

On the 5th, Woo said on TBS Radio's 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory,' "(Former Prosecutor General Yoon) is judged to be unprepared. His way of doing things is very strange," adding, "Especially presidential candidates will suffer a great defeat if they rely on clumsy political tactics."

Host Kim Eo-jun agreed, saying, "I also cast a vote there."

Woo analyzed, "Politicians, especially candidates, have a representative image. Former Prosecutor General Yoon's image is fairness and justice," adding, "He investigated the National Intelligence Service's online comment manipulation case against the Lee Myung-bak administration. Then, during his time as Prosecutor General, he investigated former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, who was a powerful figure. With such an image, (former Prosecutor General Yoon) is significant."

He continued, "The various crises facing former Prosecutor General Yoon now are situations where this 'representative image' is highly likely to be damaged," adding, "His mother-in-law's imprisonment and various suspicions related to his wife put former Prosecutor General Yoon at a crossroads on whether his representative image will be damaged or not. I see it as a process of being damaged."

Woo also criticized former Prosecutor General Yoon's response to political suspicions. Woo said, "(Former Prosecutor General Yoon's) initial response is attempting to divert the issue from the suspicions," adding, "For example, attacking Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung's 'occupying army' remark. This is not a straightforward approach. The straightforward approach would be to honestly and clearly address the suspicions raised against him."

Woo added, "Wrongdoings should be admitted as wrong, and things that are not true should be strongly denied, but attempting to divert the issue suggests there are some unfavorable aspects."
