[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, addressed the recent allegations concerning his spouse Kim Geon-hee raised by the ruling party on the 19th, stating, "I humbly accept the public's criticism," while also pointing out that there are many 'fake news' reports.

After attending the 89th anniversary memorial ceremony for independence activist Yun Bong-gil, Yoon told reporters, "I have apologized for my wife's shortcomings, but aren't many of the Democratic Party's claims false and fake?" He added, "Please judge carefully," and said, "I will not respond to each one individually."

When asked about Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential candidate of the People Party, proposing the establishment of a 'Joint Candidate Verification Committee,' Yoon replied, "The election process itself is a public verification process for candidates, and I have also been continuously scrutinized while fighting against power during my public service career."

On the morning of the 16th, Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, left the Saesidae Preparation Committee office in Yeouido, Seoul, and walked away without giving a specific response to reporters' questions regarding the controversy over his wife Kim Geon-hee's 'false resume.' 2021.12.16 [Photo by National Assembly Press Photographers] [Image source=Yonhap News]
