[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] A pillow featuring former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol has appeared at Seomun Market, the largest traditional market in Daegu, drawing attention.

On the 22nd, an Instagram account operated under the name of Yoon's dog, Tori, posted a photo with the caption "It seems former Prosecutor General Yoon has become an advertising model," showing a pillow sold at the market labeled as the "Yoon Seok-yeol pillow."

The photo shows a store with an instant label reading "Yoon Seok-yeol pillow" alongside a picture of candidate Yoon lying on a pillow with a pet cat beside him. The post included hashtags such as "#WhyIsDadThere" and "#CheerUpSeomunMarketMerchantsSellALot."

The post received a warm response with various comments like "Once again, you are helping our merchants," and "Seomun Market merchants are full of wit." In response to comments questioning "Isn't this a violation of portrait rights?" Yoon's campaign replied, "If it helps small business owners, portrait rights are free," indicating they do not mind.

Meanwhile, on the 22nd, candidate Yoon Seok-yeol met with representatives of the Self-Employed Emergency Committee at his campaign office in Jongno-gu, Seoul, stating, "There is a need to improve quarantine guidelines that impose sacrifices only on self-employed people." He expressed his intention to make this a campaign issue and, once in power, to comprehensively review and address the difficulties faced by self-employed individuals and small business owners.
