[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, congratulated presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, saying, "I will unwrap the silk pouches one by one."

On the 5th, Lee said on his Facebook, "Today, candidate Yoon Seok-yeol was selected as our party's presidential candidate. I sincerely congratulate him."

Earlier, Lee had mentioned that he would give "three silk pouches" once the People Power Party's presidential candidate was confirmed. The "three silk pouches" refer to an episode in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong, where Zhuge Liang hands three silk pouches to Zhao Zilong, who guards Liu Bei, the ruler of Shu, instructing him to open one in times of crisis.

On the 25th of last month, Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, revealed three silk pouches on his Facebook page.

Lee continued, "With the beautiful concession declarations of the remaining three primary candidates who campaigned with all their passion and sincerity until the end, we have taken a step toward victory in the presidential election," adding, "Starting soon with an online community for party members, I will unwrap the silk pouches one by one to change the culture of politics. Through the presidential election, we will gather and realize the dreams of all our party members and supporters in one place."

He also said, "The People Power Party preparing for tomorrow will not forget the dreams of Hong Kakolla, Yuchita, and the top instructor of Daejang-dong," urging, "All party members should remember that the only way to realize those dreams is victory in the presidential election."

Meanwhile, on the 6th, Lee will have lunch with candidate Yoon at a restaurant named "Sasim Gadeuk." This will be their third private meeting since the "chimaek gathering" on July 25.
