"Clear Plagiarism and No Candidates in Live Broadcast"... Yoon Seok-yeol Under Heavy Attack from Yoo Seung-min Camp

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, a presidential candidate from the People Power Party, criticized on the 23rd the issues of rival candidate Yoon Seok-yeol copying pledges and not personally participating in live broadcasts.

On this day, Kwon Seong-ju, spokesperson for Yoo's campaign, said, "The security pledge announced by candidate Yoon Seok-yeol yesterday is Yoo Seung-min's pledge. It is truly unfortunate that the result of recruiting 42 policy advisory experts is plagiarism," adding, "If it was known that the pledge announced yesterday was Yoo Seung-min's, it is clear plagiarism; if he read it without knowing it was copied, then he is a disastrous A4 president photocopy."

Spokesperson Kwon also criticized the Yoon campaign's statement that "it is not about the order of pledge announcements, but the effort to realize the hopes of the youth through pledges" by saying, "There is no other campaign more unfair and unreasonable." He said, "Is it okay to plagiarize a song as long as you sing well, or copy technology as long as you make a good product?" and demanded, "Candidate Yoon should formally apologize for plagiarizing pledges before it is too late."

There were also critical voices regarding former Prosecutor General Yoon's internet streaming live broadcast the previous day.

Choi Woong-ju, spokesperson for Yoo's campaign, said, "Candidate Yoon announced on the 19th that he would communicate with the public through a live broadcast. However, when the broadcast was turned on, Yoon Seok-yeol himself was not present in the live broadcast," and criticized, "If he was not prepared enough to appear in person, then why hold the live broadcast? It is exactly like a fish-shaped pastry without fish, just like how the candidate was absent during the pledge announcement."

Spokesperson Choi sarcastically added, "If he already plans to communicate through a proxy, it would be better to give up on this presidential election early," and said, "If live communication is difficult, then just copy and paste Yoo Seung-min's live broadcast like how you copy-pasted the military bonus pledge."

Earlier, Yoo's side raised the issue of the timing of Yoon's live broadcast. On the 20th, Lee Soo-hee, spokesperson for Yoo's campaign, said, "Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol said he would do a live broadcast. However, he chose a day and time that overlaps with Yoo Seung-min's current live broadcast 'Tonight, this is Yoo Seung-min,' which is held every Wednesday and Sunday at 9 p.m.," and criticized, "There is etiquette and morality in election campaigns. If one candidate is campaigning first, others avoid campaigning nearby, and during greetings at entrances and exits, they use separate entrances to avoid overlap."
