[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] The Democratic Party of Korea Mokpo Regional Committee (Regional Chairman Kim Won-i) issued a critical statement against the People Power Party's presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol on the 24th.

In the statement, the regional committee demanded a swift and strict investigation and action by the authorities regarding Candidate Yoon's remarks defending former President Jeon Du-hwan, the apology involving his pet dog, the dinner with local residents in Mokpo, and the controversy over the payment of the meal expenses.

The committee also stated that the claim by People Power Party spokesperson Kim Byung-min regarding the payment of Candidate Yoon's meal expenses, as reported by local broadcasters and media outlets, differs from the media reports.

Furthermore, the committee represented the local situation by saying, "There is only one truth, and it must be clear," and "The citizens of Mokpo want the truth and are urging appropriate measures regarding it."
