[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Former Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae targeted candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, saying, "There will never be a Yoon Seok-yeol government established on Korean soil, now, in the future, or ever."

Earlier, on the 25th, at the People Power Party's National Promise Vision Presentation, candidate Yoon said, "I promise that under the Yoon Seok-yeol government, there will be no Cho Kuk, no Druking, no Kim Kyung-soo, and no Chu Mi-ae," adding, "We will ensure that political power does not pressure or shake judicial institutions to cover up illegal acts and corruption, that the Blue House does not interfere in elections, and that the president's close aides do not engage in public opinion manipulation," he said.

In response, former Minister Chu posted a camp statement on her Facebook on the same day, pointing out, "This is nothing but delusional talk revealing the diminished self-esteem and excessive victim mentality of a person who, as Prosecutor General of the Republic of Korea, was the first ever to receive a dishonorable disciplinary action due to allegations of inappropriate meetings with media owners, surveillance of major trial panels, various obstructions of investigations, and interference with inspections."

Former Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae posted a statement on her Facebook on the 25th, criticizing Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential primary candidate.

Regarding candidate Yoon mentioning former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, former Governor of Gyeongnam Province Kim Kyung-soo, and former Minister Chu, she said, "Perhaps they are people who boast outwardly while sweeping through the People Power Party but actually appear in his dreams every night," adding, "Maybe that's why there is a saying that a person cannot live after committing a crime."

Former Minister Chu also sarcastically remarked, "If a Yoon Seok-yeol government is formed, perhaps what should disappear are 'TV debates,' 'Doridori' (head shaking gesture), and 'Jjeokbeol' (legs spread wide stance)."
