[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] On the 5th, during the presidential primary TV debate, Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, said, "Women in our country go to fortune-tellers," which former Open Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Jin-ae criticized as "another outrageous remark added."

On the morning of the 6th, former lawmaker Kim posted on her Facebook titled "Yoon Seok-yeol has a strange talent for increasing dislike," expressing this view.

Kim directed her criticism at candidate Yoon, saying, "Is he disparaging women just to emphasize that he himself does not go to fortune-tellers?" She added, "Each of Yoon Seok-yeol’s outrageous remarks strangely creates a specific veto group. The dislike accumulates and accumulates."

She further pointed out that Yoon’s controversial remarks such as disguised party membership, 120-hour workweeks, manual labor being something done only in Africa, not creating a housing subscription account due to lack of a house, and calling those unaware of subscription accounts dementia patients are all derogatory comments. She also criticized Yoon’s habits like sitting with legs wide apart and shaking his head side to side as unpleasant nuisances causing dislike.

Kim said, "When such a specific group of dislike grows, it is far from expanding the moderate base or broadening the scope." She argued, "If such derogatory remarks and nuisance behaviors continue, emotional antagonism will only increase. Major issues like the accusation of instigating prosecution, mother-in-law risk, wife risk, close aide risk, Kim Man-bae risk, and Park Young-soo list will be added on top of this antagonism."

Finally, Kim said, "The worst gesture is the hand forming the character '王' (king)," adding, "It immediately reminds one of Choi Soon-sil’s secret influence, raising questions about who Yoon Seok-yeol’s Choi Soon-sil is."
