[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Former Future United Party (predecessor of the People Power Party) lawmaker Lee Eon-ju raised her voice, seemingly targeting Kim Gun-hee, the spouse of presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, who is embroiled in a false career controversy, saying, "Just as Cho Kuk was held accountable, we too must pay the price if we have done wrong."

On the 15th, former lawmaker Lee posted on her Facebook, saying, "Those who must be punished should be punished, those who must apologize should apologize, and those who must reflect should do so."

She continued, "That is 'fairness and common sense.' If that does not precede, even if one wins the presidential election, from that day on, government dysfunction will begin, and both the winner and the country will become unhappy," adding, "Such a thing must not happen."

She said, "The reason why the Democratic Party's criticism of the People Power Party did not work was because of their hypocrisy (romance if I do it, adultery if others do it)," and pointed out, "Likewise, no matter how much the People Power Party criticizes the Democratic Party's hypocrisy, if they are labeled hypocrites by the public, their criticism will not work. Do you perhaps think that it is okay to be hypocritical just because the other side is nonsense, caught up in factionalism?"

She added, "With shamelessness and hypocritical attitudes, you can never receive the people's choice."

Finally, former lawmaker Lee emphasized, "Since the presidential election is a new start, both the Democratic Party and the People Power Party stand again on the same starting line," and said, "Everything must be revealed beforehand. Whether it is the candidate, the candidate's spouse, or the candidate's close associates, there can be no exceptions or privileges before the sovereign people. We must be honest and sincere before the sovereign people. That is the way to victory and the true path to uniting the people."
