[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Kim Nam-guk, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate who suggested the possibility of postponing his visit to Gwangju Metropolitan City, saying, "If you made a mistake, you should sincerely reflect and apologize. I am disgusted by the attitude of considering the pros and cons of the party's primary election."

On the 3rd, Kim posted on his Facebook with the title "I am speechless at Yoon Seok-yeol candidate's cowardice in delaying an apology under the pretext of the party primary," expressing this view.

Kim said, "Yoon Seok-yeol, who insulted Honam with his controversial praise of Chun Doo-hwan, said he would apologize by visiting Gwangju, but he is only playing hard to get using the party primary as an excuse," adding, "This morning, Representative Kwon Seong-dong from Yoon's camp said in an interview that the Gwangju visit was not formally discussed and that it would be appropriate to visit with pledges after becoming the official party candidate."

Kim continued, "I am speechless at Yoon Seok-yeol candidate's cowardice in even delaying an apology under the pretext of the party primary," and criticized, "Ignorance might improve with study, but I wonder if there is any solution for this kind of behavior."

He also said, "If he knew it was wrong, he should have apologized immediately," sarcastically adding, "What can we expect from Yoon Seok-yeol, who deepened the wounds of Honam by posting a 'dog apology' photo?"

Finally, Kim said, "Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, if you insist on visiting Gwangju for a political show, I hope you bring sincerity and genuine feelings instead of pledges," and added, "I hope you visit with at least the minimum decency as a person before becoming the official candidate."

Meanwhile, Yoon's camp had announced a visit to Gwangju on the 25th of last month, but on the 1st, former lawmaker Kim Kyung-jin, a special external cooperation advisor for Yoon's campaign, mentioned the possibility of postponing the Gwangju visit during an appearance on MBC Radio's 'Pyo Chang-won's News High Kick.'
