[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Democratic Party lawmaker Ko Min-jung targeted Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, saying, "I am concerned that a puppet president like former President Park Geun-hye will be born."

On the 11th, during a 5-minute free speech at the National Assembly plenary session, Rep. Ko said, "I believe that Yoon, who has no political experience, will inevitably have to rely on circumstances even if he is crushed by a wall," adding, "I am worried that once again, a puppet president like Choi Soon-sil and former President Park Geun-hye will emerge. Why must such shame always be the burden of the people?"

She then mentioned various allegations surrounding Yoon. She said, "Yoon is involved in more than 10 cases not only himself but also his wife Kim Gun-hee and his mother-in-law," and criticized, "Is it because he has a reliable prosecutor son-in-law, and now a son-in-law who will seize future power?"

She continued, "When I see actions that disregard legal punishment, I recall the dark history of families during the Chun Doo-hwan military regime," and criticized, "Yoon Seok-yeol, who plays emperor in politics, Yoon Seok-yeol who says only his own investigation is legitimate, and Yoon Seok-yeol who leads the destruction of conservatism but now claims to be conservative."

Rep. Ko added, "Yoon should first look into his own family, which is tightly bound by corruption," and "If he still wants to be (president), I hope he will not hide behind the scenes but come forward fairly with policies and vision."
