[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, who is visiting Honam for the second day, appealed, "We must judge the Democratic Party, which has betrayed the spirit of Kim Dae-jung, in Honam."

On the 23rd, Yoon said on his Facebook, "The Democratic Party, which grew based on Honam, is abandoning the spirit of democracy and engaging in politics that divide the people."

He criticized, "What kind of place is Honam? It is the place that produced President Kim Dae-jung, a symbol of democracy and unity," adding, "The spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation that President Kim valued is nowhere to be found, and it has long been obsessed with dividing the people."

He continued, "Please firmly reprimand the Democratic Party, which arrogantly considers Honam its stronghold, on this occasion," and pointed out, "The Democratic Party that has abandoned democracy is the Democratic Party that has abandoned Honam." He emphasized, "Judging the Democratic Party in Honam will change the Republic of Korea and upgrade the level of Korean democracy by one step."

Yoon also stressed, "I, Yoon Seok-yeol, with principles, conviction, and perseverance, will definitely show that I am different," and said, "I will not engage in politics that change positions depending on the situation." He added, "I will achieve the politics of unity and inclusion that the Democratic Party cannot. Please give me the opportunity to firmly hold the hands of the people in Honam who turned away and felt hurt due to the shortcomings of the People Power Party, and open a new era of national unity."

He further stated, "This time, let's completely break free from the tiresome chains of regionalism. Before the great cause of regime change, we are all one," and added, "I will definitely show you a new era of integration and harmony."

Yoon plans to target local public opinion by visiting Gwangju and Suncheon and Gwangyang in Jeollanam-do following Jeonbuk.
