[Chuncheon=Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, raised his voice at Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, regarding the introduction of a special prosecutor for the Daejang-dong development preferential treatment allegations, saying, "Stop playing word games."

On the 11th, after the launch ceremony of the Gangwon Province Election Countermeasures Committee held at the People Power Party Gangwon Provincial Office in Chuncheon, Gangwon, Yoon told reporters, "I have no intention of responding to Lee's words, but I don't understand what he means."

Yoon continued, "He (Lee) is also a legal professional, so I generally don't want to use this kind of expression about an opposing candidate, but I don't understand what he means," and pointed out, "It changes every day."

Yoon also said, "When did I say we should include the Busan Savings Bank issue and proceed with the special prosecutor?" and added, "If you really lack confidence, either firmly refuse or, if you want to do it, the party with 180 seats should quickly negotiate the special prosecutor law with the opposition. That's how it should be done."

He then emphasized, "Stop playing word games and let's immediately start the (special prosecutor) investigation."

Earlier, Lee mentioned the introduction of a special prosecutor for the Daejang-dong allegations, saying, "Isn't it basically saying not to do it by excluding what is unfavorable to Yoon?" and shifted the responsibility for delaying the special prosecutor's introduction onto Yoon.
