Lee Jun-seok "Kim Gun-hee's Courage, Hope for Positive Evaluation Despite Regrets"
[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, commented on the apology regarding Kim Geon-hee, wife of presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, over the 'false resume allegations,' saying, "I hope that the courage shown by the candidate's spouse today will be positively evaluated, even if there are some shortcomings from each person's perspective."
On the 26th, Lee stated on Facebook, "I hope the candidate's spouse does not become discouraged and honestly and calmly fulfills the necessary role for winning the election in her original character."
He added, "I once said that when the candidate's spouse takes public actions, it would be much better than the image when she was caught by the media at times and places she did not want, amid suspicions raised by the opposing party."
It is known that Lee visited Kim's office in Seocho-gu, Seoul, before Yoon joined the People Power Party in July and met with the Yoon couple.
