[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The campaign team of former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, a presidential candidate from the People Power Party, demanded that former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol directly clarify the controversy surrounding the destabilization of Party Leader Lee Jun-seok.

On the 22nd, Kwon Seong-ju, spokesperson for former lawmaker Yoo, stated in a comment, "The attempts to shake the party leader by Yoon Seok-yeol's camp continue," and asked, "Is Yoon Seok-yeol's goal not regime change but party leadership change?"

Earlier, Min Young-sam, the People’s Integration Special Advisor from former Prosecutor General Yoon’s presidential campaign, posted on social media (SNS), "To accomplish the great task of regime change, Leader Lee must choose one of two options: either resign as leader and join Yoo Seung-min’s camp to say whatever he wants, or remain as leader and practice silent meditation until the presidential election." After the statement sparked controversy, Advisor Min deleted the post and resigned from his advisory position.

Regarding this, Spokesperson Kwon directly targeted former Prosecutor General Yoon, saying, "The responsibility for Advisor Min’s reckless remarks lies with the candidate’s arrogant attitude that has ignored the party leader since joining the party, and with the candidate himself for not disciplining Shin Ji-ho, the general manager who even mentioned the ‘impeachment’ of the party leader."

He continued, "The ‘Emergency Committee Promotion Rumor’ from Yoon Seok-yeol’s camp, which shocked the public and party members, also has its background and responsibility with the candidate himself," and added, "While shouting for regime change, is Yoon Seok-yeol secretly only drooling over party leadership change? We hope candidate Yoon will directly clarify this."
