[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party who has resigned from all positions within Yoon Seok-yeol’s presidential campaign committee, gave a positive evaluation of Lee Soo-jung, the co-chair of the People Power Party’s campaign committee, whom he initially opposed recruiting.

On the 25th, Lee shared an article related to the co-chair on his Facebook, writing, "My final decision as the head of the Public Relations and Media Headquarters was to select Professor Lee Soo-jung as the party’s next platform and policy speechmaker."

The article Lee shared contained Lee Soo-jung’s assertion that Yoon’s wife, Kim Geon-hee, should personally apologize regarding the controversy over her false career credentials. In the article, the co-chair stated, "I believe the original fault (of the false career controversy) lies with the university," and criticized, "They created a high-level expert course for people who were not qualified and exploited the natural ambition everyone has, using various illicit methods."

In response, Lee Jun-seok commented, "Although it has been a short period, after closely discussing major issues, (the co-chair) is the most responsible and seriously thoughtful talent recruited by the party for victory." He added, "I hope she fulfills the roles I cannot perform within the campaign committee."

Previously, Lee had expressed opposition to recruiting the co-chair. At that time, he conveyed the opinion that "If the candidate decides, it is naturally possible to recruit, but it may cause confusion among the support base."
