[Asia Economy Reporter Kim So-young] Hong Joon-pyo, a member of the People Power Party, gave a negative evaluation of the fact that Kim Jong-in, Kim Han-gil, Kim Byung-joon, and others joined Yoon Seok-yeol's presidential election campaign committee (campaign committee), saying "There are also people who look for a mixed rice bowl."

On the 21st, Hong responded this way to a question on the 'Youth's Dream' community asking, "Will the campaign committee led by former emergency committee chairman Kim Jong-in, former Democratic Party leader Kim Han-gil, and former emergency committee chairman Kim Byung-joon do well? Should the 2030 younger generation support such leadership?" To the question "Are you close to Representative Lee Jun-seok?" Hong answered, "We have similar thoughts," and to the question "Why don't you answer Yoon Seok-yeol candidate's calls?" he replied, "Even if I answer, I have nothing to say."

Earlier, on the 16th, he left a comment on a post titled "I doubt whether the country will run normally if candidate Yoon becomes president," saying, "Only South Korea will become unhappy." On the 20th and 21st, when asked, "Can you reduce your remarks related to Yoon Seok-yeol?" he replied, "Understood."

However, to questions such as "Who is worse between Lee Jae-myung and Yoon Seok-yeol?" and "If Yoon becomes president, do you think he will have close aides like Choi Soon-sil?" he avoided answering by saying, "Well..."

On the 21st, candidate Yoon appointed former emergency committee chairman Kim Jong-in as the overall campaign committee chairman, former emergency committee chairman Kim Byung-joon and party leader Lee Jun-seok as standing campaign committee chairmen. Former Democratic Party leader Kim Han-gil was appointed as the New Era Preparation Committee chairman.

Candidate Yoon stated, "Former leader Kim Han-gil has agreed to form the New Era Preparation Committee and join us in regime change," adding, "While yearning for regime change, moderates and rational progressives who are still hesitant to join the People Power Party have all agreed to participate in regime change by creating a platform together."
