[Asia Economy reporters Naju-seok and Geum Bo-ryeong] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, said on the 14th that he does not even acknowledge the existence of 'Yunhaekgwan,' a term referring to Yoon's core associates.

When asked about Yunhaekgwan at the Gwanhun Club debate that day, Yoon said, "If people generally say so, it can't be helped," and emphasized, "I do not acknowledge the existence of core associates."

In particular, regarding the claim by an insider that Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, 'tried to become the head of the headquarters to embezzle publicity funds,' Yoon outright denied the existence of such a claim. He said, "I have never heard that Lee tried to embezzle publicity funds," and added, "I was the one who appointed Lee as the head of the Publicity Media Headquarters."

Yoon said, "How could someone say such things in front of me?" and added, "Isn't politics a place where slander and inaccurate stories run rampant?" He continued, "I have infinite trust in Lee, so there are very few people who would dare to speak ill of him in front of me."
