[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] On the 16th, the Democratic Party of Korea criticized, "Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, is dividing men and women and provoking conflict between the North and South through a divisive election campaign," and said, "He has an attitude that it does not matter to divide the people into sides to become president."


Jeong Gi-nam, spokesperson for the Democratic Party's election campaign committee, pointed out in a briefing that "(Candidate Yoon) stirred controversy with his pledge to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, suddenly ignited the 'Myeolgong Challenge,' and threatened peace on the Korean Peninsula by advocating a 'preemptive strike theory.'"


Spokesperson Jeong said, "One cannot become president through politics of division that promotes prejudice, hatred, and discrimination," and advised, "A presidential candidate should heal social divisions and seek national unity."



He added, "The public can only sigh at Candidate Yoon's divisive politics that only aim to deepen the rift," and asked, "Where has Yoon Seok-yeol gone, who said at the campaign committee launch ceremony last December that he would expand his support base through centrism and reasonable progressivism?"
