[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, expressed that he "greatly welcomes" the release of former President Park Geun-hye and said, "I think she should have been released a little earlier."

On the morning of the 30th, at a press conference held at the Daegu City Party Office of the People Power Party, Candidate Yoon said, "Former President Park is still hospitalized and not in good health, so I hope for her speedy recovery."

He continued, "I want to visit her, but if former President Park is concerned about other political issues, her recovery might be delayed, so I am not attempting to visit her." When asked if he had any requests for former President Park, he replied, "I will say what I need to when I see her, depending on the situation."

He also insisted that "former President Lee Myung-bak should be released soon."

Candidate Yoon stated, "I believe that detaining someone who once received significant public support and held important responsibilities for a long time is not appropriate for politics aimed at national unity and the future."

He added, "Considering their advanced age and from the perspective of the rule of law, judicial procedures should be followed regardless of status."
