[Asia Economy Reporter Gong Byung-sun] Yoon Seok-yeol, a leading presidential candidate from the opposition camp, announced on the 14th that he will pay a courtesy visit to Ban Ki-moon, former UN Secretary-General, on the 15th.


Former Prosecutor General Yoon plans to visit the Ban Ki-moon Foundation office in Jongno-gu, Seoul, to listen to Ban's political experience and seek related advice.


Ban Ki-moon attracted attention as a leading conservative presidential candidate during the 2017 presidential election but abruptly announced his withdrawal from the race just three weeks into his campaign.



Before deciding whether to join the People Power Party, Yoon met with various figures to hear diverse opinions, including Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, former Minister of Science and Technology Kim Young-hwan, and Choi Jang-jip, professor emeritus at Korea University.
