[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] On the 3rd, Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, announced that he would suspend all scheduled activities. Candidate Yoon is currently facing a crisis as his approval ratings have sharply declined across all age groups, especially among the 2030 generation, according to recent media surveys.

After canceling all his schedules, Candidate Yoon posted on his Facebook, "I honestly admit that I failed to carefully understand the hearts of the 2030 generation." He added, "When I declared my candidacy, I promised the youth to create a fair society and to properly listen to their voices, but looking back, those promises were not properly kept," issuing an apology message to the 2030 generation.

Meanwhile, Shin Ji-ye, the Senior Vice Chairperson of the New Era Preparation Committee, who had been a subject of controversy after joining Candidate Yoon's campaign, abruptly resigned on the same day. Shin announced her resignation through social media (SNS), stating, "Today, I resign from my position as Senior Vice Chairperson of the New Era Preparation Committee."
