[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, has pledged "normalization of public broadcasting" and "income deduction for sports facilities" as campaign promises.


On the morning of the 12th, Candidate Yoon presented the normalization of public broadcasting through the '59-second Shorts'.


He plans to mandate KBS to produce historical dramas, which have not been produced for five years due to product placement (PPL) restrictions. He also intends to propose that the main news program allocate more than 30% of its airtime to international news.


Along with this, Candidate Yoon introduced an income deduction for sports facilities in his sixth Shorts video. He aims to apply an annual income deduction of up to 1 million KRW for fees used at indoor sports facilities. Yoon said, "We want to promote public participation in physical activities to improve health and foster the development of related sports industries such as sports facilities and sports equipment industries," adding, "It is also expected to help revitalize industries severely affected by closures due to COVID-19."



Since the 8th, Candidate Yoon has been revealing lifestyle-oriented pledges through '59-second Shorts.' So far, he has introduced policies such as freezing electric vehicle charging fees, allowing subway season tickets to be used on buses, expanding the introduction of low-floor buses and buses equipped with lifts, and distinguishing license plates for corporate vehicles.
