[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, is reported to have decided to dissolve the campaign committee. It is also known that there are discussions about parting ways with Kim Jong-in, the general campaign committee chairman.

According to political circles on the 4th, Candidate Yoon is expected to hold a press conference on the 5th to present a campaign committee reform plan. On that day, Yoon reviewed the reform plan while staying at his residence in Seocho-gu, Seoul.

At present, the most likely plan is to maintain only a practical campaign headquarters and send current lawmakers and party officials at the executive and headquarters chief level of the existing campaign committee to local areas. This differs from Chairman Kim’s approach, which involves first dismantling the campaign committee and then reorganizing it by adjusting the roles and functions of each executive and headquarters.

Earlier, Lee Yang-su, the chief spokesperson of the campaign committee, told reporters at the Yeouido party office, "Candidate Yoon will take time for careful consideration," and "He will seek advice from various people and contemplate the situation." Lee also explained, "The candidate deeply feels that he bears great responsibility for the current situation."

Meanwhile, Chairman Kim waited for Candidate Yoon’s decision regarding the campaign committee reform plan he proposed. In front of his office in Gwanghwamun, Kim said, "Candidate Yoon will decide on the campaign committee reorganization plan," and added, "There is a possibility of moving toward a unified general situation headquarters system."
