[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Hwang Un-ha, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, warned that the high approval rating of Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential pre-candidate of the People Power Party, is "a very dangerous phenomenon that regresses Korean society's politics, as it predicts a vicious cycle of political retaliation against Yoon, the former Prosecutor General."


On the 30th, Hwang wrote on his Facebook, "Among opposition candidates, Yoon Seok-yeol's approval rating is leading at number one. Most of the support behind this rating is likely anti-Moon Jae-in," adding, "This is the background behind Yoon Seok-yeol's approval rating, which has already revealed its superficiality, still holding strong."


He then cited experts to undermine Yoon's approval rating. He said, "Experts analyze that 'People supported Yoon Seok-yeol because they disliked the Moon Jae-in administration, but as his incompetence and poor character, such as daily gaffes, became apparent, they want to withdraw their support. However, with no other alternatives, they reluctantly support Yoon again. This phenomenon is repeating, and recent fluctuations in approval ratings are not significant,' according to the analysis."

He continued, "Therefore, the analysis is that 'Opposition supporters already know that Yoon Seok-yeol is likely to lose in the general election, but due to the lack of alternatives, they have no choice but to support him, which is the dilemma of the People Power Party,'" and strongly criticized again, saying, "Yoon Seok-yeol's presidential candidacy is an extreme tragedy born from a flawed prosecution system."



Hwang said, "It seems that conservative forces desiring regime change are clinging to Yoon Seok-yeol with hopes of political retaliation using prosecutorial power," emphasizing, "There is a clear reason to conclude investigations and prosecutions before the new government takes office."
