[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Jang Je-won, a member of the People Power Party and the chief of staff at former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's campaign, said on the 12th that former President Yoon resembles past presidents Park Chung-hee, Kim Young-sam, and Roh Moo-hyun, adding, "Former President Yoon is the only alternative for a regime change."

Jang appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' that day and said, "I am completely captivated by candidate Yoon Seok-yeol's charm," adding, "When you visit his home, he even cooks ramen for you, and while cooking ramen, he talks about putting in two eggs. Former President Yoon is very straightforward, blunt, and down-to-earth."

He continued, "Seeing these traits, I think he also resembles President Roh Moo-hyun's manner of speech," and explained, "His blunt and straightforward traits remind me of President Kim Young-sam's pruning style. The way he pushes forward boldly with the main stream reminds me of President Park Chung-hee's drive. I thought he might have all of these qualities."

He added, "If Yoon Seok-yeol-style politics is properly implemented, I believe we can create a country in South Korea that is upright and where common sense prevails," explaining why he joined former President Yoon's campaign.

Regarding recent rumors of conflict between former President Yoon's campaign and Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, he dismissed them, saying, "What kind of conflict are you talking about?"
