[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Song Young-gil, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's palm 'king (王)' controversy on the 8th, saying, "Instead of contemplating the future of the new Republic of Korea, we are returning to the era of superstition."

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, Leader Song pointed out, "The current presidential election scene is showing a gloomy shadow returning to the era of superstition that we overcame through the Candlelight Revolution, starting with strange stories about moles and ranging from shamans to princes, rather than thinking about the future of the new Republic of Korea."

Regarding the allegations of fabricated accusations involving former Prosecutor General Yoon, he said, "The ugly truth of the fabricated accusation case, carried out in collusion between the People Power Party and the corrupt prosecution, is being revealed," raising his voice, "Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, said he would create a fair election promotion team and appointed Representative Kim Jae-won to self-verify the suspicions, but what have they actually verified?"

He continued, "This is a serious issue that disrupts the national order, an unprecedented event in the history of the prosecution," and criticized, "Hong Joon-pyo, the People Power Party candidate, said that if he becomes president, he would imprison Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung, but rather, he should urge investigation and handling of the Yoon Seok-yeol fabricated accusation allegations, which clearly privatize the prosecution organization."

He added, "The Democratic Party will create a new future for the Republic of Korea, not one filled with such premodern superstition, absurd leaps, prejudice, and rampant rumors."
