[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok, Changwon=Reporter Park Joon-yi] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, said on the 15th regarding the broadcast of the 7-hour phone conversation of his wife Kim Gun-hee, "I have nothing to say."

Candidate Yoon made this remark after attending the Ulsan City Election Countermeasures Committee’s Victory Resolution Rally held at Jeonha Sports Center in Ulsan Metropolitan City.

When reporters asked him to comment on the recorded phone conversation of his spouse, he said, "Well, I have not yet seen the court ruling, and because my schedule is busy, I have no time to look into it, so I have nothing to say."

Earlier, the People Power Party filed an injunction with the court to prohibit MBC from broadcasting the phone conversation between Kim and a reporter from Seoul's Sound. The court allowed the broadcast except for the ongoing investigation matters where Kim is a creditor, effectively permitting the broadcast.

Regarding the People Power Party lawmakers visiting media outlets to protest, Yoon indicated that he does not see it as 'media suppression.' He said, "Generally speaking, media suppression is done by the ruling party with power; I have never heard of the opposition suppressing the media."

Meanwhile, concerning his pledge to relocate the KDB Industrial Bank to Busan, Yoon said, "For industry to develop, it is essential to gather funds, and a large financial institution capable of mediating that is necessary. First, we will relocate the Industrial Bank to Busan to supply funds not only to Busan’s maritime and advanced industries but also to Ulsan and the Gyeongnam area."
