[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Kim Eui-gyeom, a member of the Open Democratic Party, stated, "If Yoon Seok-yeol becomes president, he will seem like the reincarnation of Jeon Du-hwan."

On the 23rd, Kim posted on his Facebook, saying, "I still think Yoon Seok-yeol is the living Jeon Du-hwan."

He pointed out, "Regarding Jeon Du-hwan, candidate Yoon said, 'Except for May 18, his politics were good.' And he said he would pay respects," adding, "It has been proven that his 'apology' was a 'dog apology'."

He continued, "I once wrote a post on my Facebook titled 'Yoon Seok-yeol and Jeon Du-hwan,' saying, 'When former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol mentioned May 18, General Jeon Du-hwan from his youth came to mind. Despite the age difference of over 30 years, their appearances overlap a lot,'" he said.

He then emphasized, "So no matter what happens, we must stop him. We must even risk our lives."

Kim also recalled, "'I will shoot Jeon Du-hwan to death. Just get me one gun.' In the early 1980s, when the bloody smell of Gwangju still lingered, I was a buzz-cut high school student who one day burst out in anger to my teachers like this," recalling the time.

Meanwhile, Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, said in the morning about paying respects to former President Jeon, "I don't know when yet, but after reviewing the preparation schedule, I think I should go since he is a former president," but after a lunch with other primary candidates, he reversed his position and decided not to pay respects.
