[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party’s presidential candidate and former Prosecutor General, appeared on Coupang Play’s SNL Korea segment “Reporter Joo Goes.” Yoon said, "You must have been very stressed under the ‘double standards’ administration, but I will make sure the people don’t have to be stressed."

In an interview released the day before, Yoon expressed his determination regarding the primary election.

In the interview, when asked to choose between ‘Marrying my current wife again if I were reborn’ and ‘Becoming president,’ he said, "The answer is definitely number 1 (the former)."

When asked again if that was a definite answer, he laughed and replied, "Isn’t the footage going to be released? If you ask any man in Korea, they would have to choose the former."

Hong Joon-pyo, a People Power Party lawmaker who appeared on the same program last week, said, "Since I’ve been president once, marrying my wife again is better," adding, "After serving as president this time, I might go to the afterlife."

Additionally, when asked whether he would prefer ‘Lee Jae-myung working in my camp’ or ‘me working in Lee Jae-myung’s camp,’ Yoon said, "I dislike both." But when forced to choose, he said, "Then it would be better if candidate Lee Jae-myung worked in my camp."

When asked to choose between ‘Ordering jajangmyeon on the day I move into a new house bought with a loan’ and ‘Living debt-free in Lee Jae-myung’s long-term rental housing,’ he said, "Even if I have to take out a loan, buying my own house and eating jajangmyeon is much better."

Regarding the introduction calling him "Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party primary candidate receiving passionate support from the 2030 generation," Yoon commented, "It doesn’t seem like passionate support yet. It needs to get passionate." On the broadcast that day, Yoon also imitated actor Joo Hyun’s voice to encourage young people to be courageous.

Hong Joon-pyo and Shim Sang-jung, the Justice Party presidential candidate, previously appeared on SNL’s “Reporter Joo Goes” segment. Next week, Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, is scheduled to appear.
