[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] Former People Power Party lawmaker Lee Eon-ju stated regarding the conflict between Party Leader Lee Jun-seok and presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, "If Leader Lee himself does not want to, rather than forcing him to join the campaign committee, it is fundamentally necessary to resolve the hostility with candidate Yoon."

On the 30th, former lawmaker Lee appeared on TBS's 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory' and responded to the host's question about how to resolve the conflict between Leader Lee and candidate Yoon.

He said, "There seems to be something quite uncomfortable. Differences in policy or strategy are inevitable," but added, "If the differences are not resolved, ultimately it will have to go according to the candidate's intention."

Regarding the YouTube channel 'Garosero Research Institute' (Gaseyeon) raising allegations of sexual bribery against Leader Lee, when host Kim Eo-jun pointed out that "the timing of the allegations is exquisite," former lawmaker Lee replied, "(The timing) is somewhat suspicious," and said, "If you are not a party involved, you cannot seize investigation records."

He continued, "I don't know the details either, but Leader Lee is not a key figure in the case," and added, "It is an incident from 8 to 9 years ago, so why raise allegations now and who obtained the records?"

He then remarked, "Some even claim it is a Democratic Party conspiracy," and criticized, "If the whistleblower had intended to report, wouldn't they have taken it to a major broadcast station?"
