[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Oh Shin-hwan, former lawmaker and head of the situation room for former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, a presidential candidate from the People Power Party, analyzed on the 29th that the party support effect for former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is wavering. He denied the unification rumors with People Power Party lawmaker Hong Joon-pyo, calling them a "manipulative approach."

Oh appeared on MBC Radio's Kim Jong-bae's Focus and said, "Among party members hoping for a regime change, former Prosecutor General Yoon had a preemptive effect that he would ultimately judge the Moon Jae-in administration and lead the Democratic Party to victory," adding, "So I believe that effect has continued until now, but judging from recent changes in public opinion, party support is also slightly wavering."

Regarding the successive endorsements within the party related to former Prosecutor General Yoon, he evaluated, "Politicians choose and support candidates based on a complex judgment of party interests and their political stance, so in the end, such vote-counting appears somewhat old-fashioned and is unlikely to deeply impress the public."

Oh said, "Although former Prosecutor General Yoon made several gaffes over the past four months, the remarks about Jeon Du-hwan made last week are being evaluated as a significantly different issue," adding, "Even those close to the moderate camp or those who defected from the Democratic Party with a judgment stance against the Moon Jae-in administration are taking this matter seriously."

He continued, "There is an aspect of this change reflected in the Monday polling trends," and said, "Yesterday's press conference seems to have emerged from Yoon Seok-yeol's sense of anxiety and crisis."

Regarding the unification rumors between People Power Party lawmakers Hong Joon-pyo and Yoo Seung-min, Oh stated, "It is an unfounded rumor, and there has been no discussion at all," adding, "It is a manipulative approach and a completely unrealistic situation."
