[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] Jeong Cheong-rae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, saying, "Yoon Seok-yeol's hazy mirage is clearing up," and "He may run, but it will be difficult for him to complete the race."

On the 18th, Jeong shared an article titled 'Lee Jae-myung 29.8%, Yoon Seok-yeol 19.5% 'Double-digit gap'... Lee Nak-yeon 10.6%' on his Facebook and made these remarks.

According to a suitability poll for the next presidential candidate conducted and announced by the polling firm Korea Research on the 16th and 17th, Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung recorded 29.8%, while former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol recorded 19.5%, with Lee leading Yoon and former Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon beyond the margin of error.

Starting with the headline ',' Jeong repeatedly compared Lee and Yoon. He said, "Lee will benefit from the bandwagon effect, while Yoon will face a series of misfortunes," and "Lee will rise with the first-place effect, while Yoon will fall due to being stuck in second place."

Earlier, Jeong also criticized Yoon's historical awareness controversy that resurfaced, saying, "'Yoon-jeok-yoon' Yoon Seok-yeol's enemy is Yoon Seok-yeol himself," and "He should admit mistakes and errors. It's embarrassing to even mention it, and I feel sorry even to the two doctors."

This referred to the incident on August 15th when Yoon visited Hyochang Park in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, to pay respects on Liberation Day, but posted a message featuring patriot Yun Bong-gil and a photo of patriot Ahn Jung-geun's portrait. The Facebook post by Yoon's campaign team intensified the 'historical awareness controversy.' Yoon also faced criticism last month on the 27th when he visited the Democratic Park in Busan and asked, "Is this the Bu-Ma uprising?" while looking at the statue of martyr Lee Han-yeol.

Regarding Yoon's remarks and actions, Jeong said, "I predicted early on that Yoon Seok-yeol would run but would find it difficult to complete the race," adding, "(Yoon) will become the second Ban Ki-moon."

He concluded his post by pointing out, "Looking at how things are going, Yoon Seok-yeol is destined to fail."
