[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The campaign of former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, a presidential candidate from the People Power Party, harshly criticized former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, calling him a "cowardly anchovy." They claimed that Yoon's camp is trying to shake up the primary election rules due to a lack of confidence in the expansion regarding the reverse selection prevention clause.

On the 31st, Kwon Seong-ju, spokesperson for Yoo's campaign, stated, "The attempts by Yoon Seok-yeol's camp to shake the party leadership are continuing with efforts to disrupt the primary election rules," and raised concerns about remarks made by members of Yoon's camp related to the reverse selection prevention clause.

He added, "While promising to keep the camp disciplined, they have continued guerrilla tactics of hit-and-run provocations aimed at the party leadership, including calls for 'impeachment,' 'go to Yoo Seung-min's camp,' and 'emergency committee.' Changing debates to press conferences out of fear and invoking reverse selection prevention due to lack of confidence in expansion looks precarious," he criticized.

Spokesperson Kwon said, "Those who once claimed to be whales have somehow become cowardly anchovies hiding in a handful of rock crevices," and stated, "Bubble approval ratings created by the 'Choo Mi-ae effect' and the 'new profile effect' will not be maintained by changing the leadership and the primary election rules."

He further demanded, "Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol should no longer hide behind senior election commissioner Jeong Hong-won and his close aides, but step forward directly and clearly stop the baseless claims about reverse selection prevention."
