[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, addressed the mention of his resignation at the freshman lawmakers' meeting, saying, "Everyone in the party knows that such things are not helpful."

On the evening of the 27th, Lee appeared on MBC Radio's 'Pyo Chang-won's News High Kick' and stated, "(The resignation) was said by some very hasty members among the freshman lawmakers."

Lee said, "Since our freshman lawmakers make up more than half of the party, there is a very diverse spectrum," adding, "Within that, there is a wide ideological and policy spectrum, and when such issues arise, it reflects a diverse spectrum rather than a dominant opinion."

Regarding Yoon Seok-youl, the People Power Party's presidential candidate's remark that "no one should become a third-party commentator or critic," Lee said, "The candidate meant that he was not referring to me through someone else," and added, "I don't think there is a situation for misunderstanding."

About the public apology by Yoon's spouse, Kim Geon-hee, Lee said, "While not many people were 100% satisfied with the candidate spouse's press conference, on the other hand, some of the personal attack images that had been attached to the candidate's spouse have been somewhat resolved," and added, "There may be parts that the public is dissatisfied with regarding this matter, but both the candidate and the spouse have apologized. I believe the public will make their judgment."

Regarding Kim's future public activities, he added, "It will be possible when both the candidate and the candidate's spouse are mentally prepared."
