[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Kim Jong-in, the chairman of the People Power Party's overall election countermeasures committee, said on the 6th that if presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol has captured a moment of opportunity, he must demonstrate the ability to properly realize it.

Chairman Kim appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' that day and said, "People who suddenly achieve something in a specific situation are said to have caught a moment of opportunity."

Chairman Kim said, "Based on the experiences of past presidents, the candidate himself must have considerable awareness," adding, "Right now, honesty is essential. If the candidate has made thorough promises to the people, showing that he fulfills them from the beginning will lead to success, but if he fails to show that, catching a moment of opportunity becomes meaningless."

He emphasized that the atmosphere of the Seoul mayoral by-election is still "alive," and said, "A turning point may come around late December or early January. I think the election committee should play a role in wisely overcoming that."
