[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Seoyoung] Hong Joon-pyo, a former presidential candidate in the People Power Party primary, urged presidential candidates Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party and Yoon Seok-youl of the People Power Party to promptly undergo the so-called 'double special investigation.'

On the 13th, Hong posted on his Facebook, "All major candidates from both ruling and opposition parties are involved in serious crimes, yet forcing the public to choose without any truth verification makes this a truly cruel presidential election," he stated.

Hong wrote, "Both cases have already undergone preliminary investigations, so the substantial truth will be revealed by the end of the year at the latest," adding, "That is what the people demand." He also pointed out, "Holding the presidential election amid only political disputes is a chain of deceiving the people," and "If you are confident, both of you should willingly accept this."

Earlier, candidate Yoon proposed a 'double special investigation' to simultaneously investigate the allegations of fabricated accusations against him and the Daejang-dong scandal involving candidate Lee. In response, Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, suggested that the ruling party handle the special investigation on fabricated accusations, while the opposition party handle the Daejang-dong special investigation, each having the authority to appoint investigators.
