[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, expressed concern on the 14th about former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, the party's presidential candidate, mentioning 'party dissolution.'

After the on-site Supreme Council meeting held at the Gyeonggi Province Party Office in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, Lee told reporters, "If former Prosecutor General Yoon's position was a reaction to attacks, then turning that arrow towards party dissolution lacks plausibility, so I find it puzzling," adding, "I hope that verbal disputes between candidates do not escalate into something that worries supporters."

Earlier, on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus,' Lee commented on Yoon's remarks, saying, "'I don't like the current state of the party,' 'I will reform the party'?these are among the things a presidential candidate can say," but warned, "If such messages are perceived excessively, they can create a negative image. In my view, from former Prosecutor General Yoon's standpoint, recent appearances in debates and such could be seen unfavorably by the public."

Previously, at the appointment ceremony of the Jeju Campaign Headquarters held by the People Power Party Jeju Provincial Office the day before, former Prosecutor General Yoon criticized competing candidates for their verification remarks, saying, "Will these people bring about regime change?" and "If we don't change this mindset first, it is right that our party disappears."
