[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Former lawmaker Kim Young-hwan met with former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol on the 8th and said, "There have been many politicians who could not think and decide for themselves and were led by the groups or the public they belonged to, but a leader must have the power to lead."

After having a meal with former Prosecutor General Yoon at a restaurant in Jongno-gu, Seoul, Kim told reporters, "I thought that former Prosecutor General Yoon would become a leader who makes decisions and leads in the direction he thinks is best for the country and the nation, and if that happens, he would become a great hope for our people."

Regarding joining the People Power Party, Kim said that Yoon told him, "The decision must be made by oneself, and one must take responsibility for that decision." Kim also said that they did not discuss Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung, who is the ruling party's top approval rating holder, at all.

Before the meal, the two exchanged compliments such as "someone I respect regularly" and "I feel I must help somehow." Former Prosecutor General Yoon said of Kim, "He is someone I respect regularly for his humanistic and balanced political sense."

Kim said that although Yoon did not ask him to take a specific position in the camp he will form in the future, he plans to help if there is anything he can assist with. He said, "I believe that protecting former Prosecutor General Yoon is the first turning point for regime change, so I told him I would voluntarily help without any official position, finding firm tasks with a spirit of serving quietly."
