[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-ho Kim] Yoo Seung-min, a presidential candidate from the People Power Party, simultaneously targeted his primary rivals, former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl and former Board of Audit and Inspection Chairman Choi Jae-hyung, on the 14th.

In an interview with Ulsan Broadcasting on the same day, Yoo said, "They may have been excellent Prosecutor General and Board of Audit and Inspection Chairman, but suddenly becoming president carries too much risk."

Yoo also questioned their sincerity, saying, "I have always wondered since when the two of them have had the will and preparation to become president."

Regarding the fact that former Prosecutor General Yoon and former Chairman Choi are competing for first and second place in opposition party support ratings, Yoo responded, "If the primary is fiercely contested in a short period, rankings can change at any time."

When asked, "What kind of leader do you think South Korea needs?" he explained, "We need a leader who can revive the economy after COVID-19," adding, "The economy should act as a trigger to solve issues such as jobs, housing, inequality, and population."

On real estate policy, he replied, "We will definitely increase supply and reduce real estate-related taxes to gradually lower real estate prices."

He took a sharp stance on Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung's basic housing pledge. Yoo criticized it as "nothing but deceptive populism" and said, "It is a policy that even socialist countries could not afford due to lack of funds."
