[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Hong Joon-pyo, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, directly criticized former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol on the 5th, saying, "Responding to matters that will soon be revealed by calling it political manipulation is a shameless and brazen response."

On the same day, Hong posted on his Facebook, stating, "As a newcomer starting politics, he should have responded cleanly," and added, "If he had honestly responded by saying that during his time as Prosecutor General, the attempts to undermine him were so severe that he had no choice but to respond that way, the situation would have been different."

He continued, "Now that the truth game has begun, the matter has escalated as much as it can," and advised, "Although many of the statements are difficult to take back, he should confess the truth and apologize to the public even now."
