[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Seoyoung] Former Saenuri Party (predecessor of the People Power Party) lawmaker Jeon Yeok described the dramatic reconciliation between Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, and Lee Jun-seok, the party leader, as "(Yoon candidate's) white flag surrender."

On the 3rd, former lawmaker Jeon revealed this through a post on her Facebook titled "Yoon Seok-yeol has collapsed." She said, "Today's 'Ulsan showdown' was not a meeting between party leader Lee Jun-seok and candidate Yoon Seok-yeol," adding, "It was a showdown between 'Kim Jong-in's avatar' Lee Jun-seok and Yoon Seok-yeol."

Former lawmaker Jeon wrote, "The first breaking news that came out right after eating bulgogi was Kim Jong-in's acceptance of the position as the general election committee chairman. Moreover, the candidate Yoon kindly said that Kim would have 'full authority' to oversee the election committee," calling it "a mere stopgap measure." She continued, "From now on, former chairman Kim and the 'grandfather-grandson' duo will find all sorts of excuses to oust people from Yoon's side in the election committee."

Former lawmaker Jeon also emphasized, "They even showed generosity by not demanding the resignation of Professor Lee Soo-jung, who was initially used as a disguised pretext," adding, "Soon, Lee's divisive politics, who once shouted for 'Chairman Sohn Hak-kyu's resignation' and staged a sit-in, will be reenacted." She questioned, "Do Kim Jong-in and Lee really sincerely wish for Yoon's election and regime change?"

Jeon strongly criticized, "Kim Jong-in wrote the script and marked Seoul, Busan, Suncheon, and after Jeju, the Ulsan showdown," calling it "the stench of rotten and messy political technicians, the 'kkondae' (old-fashioned authoritarian figures)." She concluded, "You and I both have a sense of what their ultimate goal is. It is very, extremely worrisome."

Earlier, Lee had canceled all schedules and disappeared amid the 'passing controversy.' However, on the 3rd, Lee met with candidate Yoon at a restaurant in Ulju-gun, Ulsan, for a dinner meeting and agreed that "a consensus was reached at the Ulsan meeting." He also stated, "Regarding important matters related to the presidential election, the candidate, party leader, and floor leader will closely share all matters and strengthen direct communication," and announced that Kim Jong-in had abruptly accepted the position of the People Power Party's general election committee chairman.
