[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Yoon Seung-min, a former lawmaker and presidential candidate of the People Power Party, on the 7th spoke about the 'report solicitation' suspicion involving former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol. He said to Kim Woong, a key figure in the case, "I told him that it is meaningful to try to recall past records and memories as much as possible and inform the public truthfully."

After completing a presentation at the 'Change Korea, 3 Major Promises' event held for the first round of presidential primary candidates at ASSA Studio in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, Yoon shared this with reporters. Kim has been serving as the spokesperson for Yoon’s presidential campaign.

He said, "I spoke with Kim this morning and told him to focus on facts regarding the allegations currently being raised and to definitely inform the public," adding, "Kim seems to be planning a press conference soon after taking my advice, and I believe he will speak truthfully."

Regarding specific circumstances related to the report solicitation suspicion, he said, "I think Kim himself will speak about it."

However, Yoon expressed concern about the skeptical views within the party directed at Kim regarding this issue. He said, "I am worried about different opinions emerging within the party," and especially mentioned, "In particular, the Yoon Seok-yeol campaign has been calling Kim cowardly..." expressing his concern. He continued, "Regarding the part where it is suggested that Kim is hiding some truth, I told Kim that honesty in front of the people is the best approach for politicians," and "I asked him to tell everything honestly and exactly as it is."

Yoon stated, "Whether the document was created by the prosecution and delivered to Kim through an active prosecutor, who Kim passed it on to within the party, and how the media was tipped off ? since Kim is a key figure in uncovering the truth of all these matters, I demand that the facts be revealed. If this is true, I once again urge the side of former Prosecutor General Yoon to clearly and truthfully address this issue."
