[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Former lawmaker Jang Sung-min, who participated in the People Power Party's preliminary primary, expressed deep interest in former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, the current People Power Party primary candidate, saying he believes Yoon is "a greater alternative for regime change."

On the 12th, in a phone interview with Asia Economy, former lawmaker Jang stated, "I will support the candidate who can most reliably achieve regime change."

He had previously received several 'love calls' from leading candidates, former Prosecutor General Yoon and People Power Party lawmaker Hong Joon-pyo, but recently seems to have leaned toward Yoon. It is known that he had a luncheon meeting with Yoon on the 9th and had several direct phone calls with him before the meeting.

Former lawmaker Jang explained, "Hong's camp also contacted me several times and even offered me a co-chief campaign committee chair position, but after meeting Yoon in person, I felt his strong commitment to the value of fairness, which is the spirit of the times. He also appeared to have a strong belief in establishing a fair nation to prevent corrupt politics like the 'Daejang-dong Lee Jae-myung Gate' after regime change."

He also evaluated, "On a personal level, he was kind, very humble, and seemed to have a great intellectual curiosity for learning."
