[Asia Economy Reporter Kim So-young] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, expressed disbelief at Lee Jun-seok, the party leader, designating Assemblyman Jang Je-won as a 'Yoon Hae-gwan' (a key insider of Yoon Seok-yeol's camp), saying, "How could he be a Yoon Hae-gwan?"

On the afternoon of the 23rd, after visiting the Yeosu Gwangyang Port Authority in Gwangyang, Jeollanam-do, Yoon told reporters, "Assemblyman Jang resigned as the head of the situation room at the National Campaign and does not even come to work at the campaign headquarters. There is no one around him working at the campaign headquarters either," expressing his view.

Yoon reportedly even smiled and said to the press, "Please ask Assemblyman Jang if he is a Yoon Hae-gwan."

Earlier that day, Lee said on KBS Radio's 'Choi Kyung-young's Strong Current Affairs,' "Assemblyman Jang, who is known not to participate in the election campaign committee, criticized the overall campaign headquarters with details I was not aware of," adding, "I believe his information network is good, or he is declaring himself a 'Hae-gwan'."

In response, Assemblyman Jang posted on his Facebook the same day, stating, "Why wouldn't I have something to say against such insulting personal attacks?" and expressed displeasure, saying, "Now is the time to think only about regime change and candidate Yoon Seok-yeol. I will endure and endure again."

That morning, while attending the National Assembly Judiciary Committee, Assemblyman Jang told reporters, "If I respond to emotional personal attacks, it will only become a mudslinging fight. What is the reality of Yoon Hae-gwan? Is it criticizing from behind anonymity? I have never criticized from behind anonymity," making his position clear.
