[Asia Economy Reporters Hyunju Lee and Juni Park] Yoo Seung-min, a former lawmaker and presidential candidate of the People Power Party, stated on the 25th, "The fact that 36-year-old Lee Jun-seok was chosen at the party convention reflects the public's desire for innovation in conservative politics," adding, "That desire continues with us now, and I believe people will see if we have changed and give us their support in the presidential election next March."


At the People Power Party presidential candidate vision presentation on the same day, Yoo said, "The name Moon Jae-in will become increasingly faint as the next presidential election approaches. If we only shout for the overthrow and judgment of the Moon Jae-in administration, after the Democratic Party candidate is decided in October, we might just be throwing punches into the air."


He emphasized that he is "strong for the future," saying, "When I was the floor leader of the Saenuri Party, I successfully carried out the civil servant pension reform. If it is a reform for the future, I will accomplish it no matter what difficulties arise." He also claimed to be "strong on security," stating, "Although I am not an army general but a former sergeant, I devoted myself fully to the National Defense Committee during my eight years in the National Assembly."



Confident in his strength against the Democratic Party, Yoo said, "When nine Democratic candidates appeared and debated, four of them said they feared Yoo Seung-min the most, but they were unsure if I would become a candidate," adding, "If the people and party members choose me as their candidate, I will definitely crush the Democratic Party candidate in the general election."
