Hong Jun-pyo: "President Moon should be cautious about meeting Lee Jae-myung... Hope it won't be a wrong meeting"

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Hong Joon-pyo, a presidential candidate from the People Power Party, requested caution regarding the meeting between President Moon Jae-in and Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate and Governor of Gyeonggi Province, on the 12th.

Through social media (SNS) on the same day, Rep. Hong stated, "Unlike in the past, the incumbent president is not the party leader but an ordinary party member," adding, "The president's role is to manage a fair presidential election, but holding a secret meeting with a candidate from a specific party could raise suspicions of presidential interference in the election and allegations of colluding to cover up the ongoing Daejang-dong corruption scandal."

He urged, "President Moon and the Blue House should recognize that times have changed and be cautious in their conduct," and added, "I earnestly ask that this meeting does not turn out to be a wrong encounter."
