[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Hong Jun-pyo, a member of the People Power Party, has joined Yoon Seok-yeol's presidential campaign committee.

On the 15th, Hong announced through the online youth community he created, 'Cheongnyeon-ui Kkum' (Youth's Dream), "Just like serving quietly without seeking recognition, I have decided to be listed as an advisor in the Daegu campaign committee, where I will have no actual role."

This is interpreted to mean that although his name will be listed, he will not actively participate in the campaign committee. Hong explained, "If I refuse even that, they will accuse me of being a bystander, so this is an unavoidable measure." He added, "I hope this will end the controversy and be forgotten."
