Won Hee-ryong: "Yoon, Joining the Party but Only Forming Factions Without Creating Policies... Lee Jae-myung Preparing to Become the Worst President"

Former Jeju Governor and People Power Party presidential candidate Won Hee-ryong demanded on the 18th at the party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, "Release the entire recorded file of the phone call with me by 6 p.m. today," regarding remarks related to Representative Lee Jun-seok and former Prosecutor General and presidential candidate Yoon Seok-youl.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Former Jeju Governor and People Power Party presidential candidate Won Heeryong strongly criticized former Prosecutor General Yoon Seokyeol, saying, "He joined the party but doesn't create policies, only factions."

In an interview with MBN's 'Jung Woongap's Current Affairs Special' on the 22nd, former Governor Won said, "Former Prosecutor General Yoon is not prepared with a national philosophy or a vision for running the country," adding, "My words may be harsh, but if this continues, a day will come when I will be in a superior position overall and he will have to cooperate with me."

Regarding the recent dispute with Party Leader Lee Junseok over the 'that' remark, he stated, "This is not Won Heeryong noise marketing," and drew a line by saying, "The party leader, who should be the last bastion of a fair primary, showed signs of trying to encroach on the central line. This was to protect the normal lane of the People Power Party."

He continued, "An unfair primary ruins the bigger overall game," explaining, "So I threw my whole body into stopping it and succeeded. Primary preparation committee chairman Seo Byungsoo resigned, and the election commission will soon be formed."

When criticized for resigning from the Jeju governorship midway to run for president, he retorted, "As seen in Governor Lee Jae-myung's case, a governor's body cannot be in two places at once," adding, "It's like filming a mukbang while a fire is burning."

Regarding Governor Lee, he said, "I believe he will be the final candidate of the ruling party," and sarcastically added, "He is ready to be the worst president. Judging from his personality, basic income policy, and the forced appointment of Hwang Kyoik, the second Choi Soon-sil, a worse Lee Jae-myung version of the Choi Soon-sil state manipulation scandal during the Park Geun-hye administration will emerge."

Former Governor Won had previously made sharp remarks toward former Prosecutor General Yoon on the 19th, saying, "Former Prosecutor General Yoon should kneel before me and cooperate," and "I am the person who wants to appoint former Prosecutor General Yoon as Minister of Justice."
