[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] The campaign team of Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate from the People Power Party, claimed regarding the preferential treatment allegations in the Daejang-dong development case that "the public believes there was an instruction from Sang Jae-myeong for 'Left Jin-sang - Right Dong-gyu' to coordinate their stories."

In a statement, Choi Eun-seok, the chief deputy spokesperson for Yoon’s campaign, pointed out the incident where Yoo Dong-gyu, former head of planning at Seongnam Urban Development Corporation, threw his cellphone out the window during a prosecution raid, saying, "The call about who provided information on the prosecution’s raid was made just before the raid, and Yoo blocked the entry of the prosecution investigators while throwing his phone out the window. Moreover, Candidate Lee knew specific details about Yoo’s situation before his arrest that only Yoo himself could have known."

Choi added, "Considering these circumstances, it is reasonable to suspect that the call between 'Left Jin-sang and Right Dong-gyu' just before the raid was either pressure to 'take the blame for that person' or an attempt to fabricate an alibi." He criticized Candidate Lee for initially responding that he heard the explanation from the candidate himself, then from an aide, and finally indirectly from a journalist on the same day.

He continued, "There are also allegations that Yoo spoke not only with Deputy Director Jeong but also with another close aide of Candidate Lee," stating, "If true, this means that Lee’s aides attempted a comprehensive cover-up and alibi fabrication." He further urged, "As Candidate Lee said, lies cannot overcome the truth. Confess the truth to the public before it is too late."
