[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] After many twists and turns, 12 presidential candidates from the People Power Party will gather in one place. It is expected that the candidates will reveal their plans for national governance during the live-streamed vision presentation.


The People Power Party will hold a vision presentation on the 25th at 1 PM at the party headquarters, with the party’s presidential candidates attending and each given 7 minutes to present. The order of presentations was determined in advance by drawing lots, and there will be no Q&A between candidates. Originally, 13 People Power Party presidential candidates were scheduled to attend, but Representative Yoon Hee-sook announced her resignation from the National Assembly and will not participate in the presentation.


Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl, who raised fairness concerns when the debate prepared by the Primary Preparation Committee was changed to a presentation, will attend the event. Former Prosecutor General Yoon plans to announce that his first national agenda upon taking office will be relief programs for the underprivileged and vulnerable groups affected by COVID-19, stating, "In the Yoon Seok-youl government, there will be no Cho Kuk, no Druking, no Kim Kyung-soo, and no Chu Mi-ae." He will also propose measures such as cost-based housing to stabilize housing prices.


Former Board of Audit and Inspection Chairman Choi Jae-hyung, who has been focusing on the presentation without any public schedule since the day before, will start by sharing his reflections when he began his political career, point out the problems in Korean politics, and broadly propose a direction to create a country where young people can have hope.
