[Asia Economy Reporter Junyi Park] Yoon Hee-sook, former People Power Party lawmaker known as the "Lee Jae-myung sniper," is joining the party's election campaign committee. She will serve as the chairperson of the "A Republic of Korea to Look Forward to Tomorrow Committee," which aims to reflect the voices from various fields such as youth activists and experts on jobs, pensions, real estate, and the environment into policy.

On the 10th, Yoon posted on social media (SNS), "I have decided to join the People Power Party's campaign committee," adding, "After much consideration, I thought the best way I could support the candidate was through the 'A Republic of Korea to Look Forward to Tomorrow (Nae.Gi.Dae) Committee,' which I proposed."

She described the committee as "a policy agora where the vision of the Republic of Korea that presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol wants to realize is presented to the public and created together with the people," explaining, "By mainly showcasing it from the perspective of future generations, the goal is to build consensus on what changes the times demand and what changes toward the future should be, and to maximize the synchronization rate with national policy planning."

At the same time, she criticized Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, as a person who uses any means, lacks potential for development, and has no consistent values or principles, emphasizing that "the gathering of anger should lead to drawing hope and expectations for the future."
