[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] On the 19th, Hong Joon-pyo, a member of the People Power Party, revealed the conditions for joining the election campaign headquarters after meeting with candidate Yoon Seok-yeol. He demanded measures to guarantee national governance and a public declaration to strictly punish corruption related to the candidate's in-laws.


After the meeting with candidate Yoon, Hong made a statement through the political platform 'Cheongnyeon-ui Kkum' (Youth's Dream).


Hong said, "During a two-and-a-half-hour dinner with candidate Yoon this evening, I made two requests. First, I hope measures will be taken to guarantee the ability to govern the country and alleviate public anxiety. Second, I hope there will be a public declaration to strictly punish corruption involving the candidate's in-laws."


He added, "If these two issues are resolved, I will participate in the election team as a standing advisor to the Central Election Campaign Headquarters."

He demanded assurances that candidate Yoon, who is relatively new to politics, can govern the next administration stably, and a public promise to thoroughly address the corruption issues related to Yoon's in-laws, which have been cited as a weakness.


If these measures are implemented, he intends to join candidate Yoon's campaign and actively support the election efforts.



Hong has served as an advisor to the People Power Party's Daegu election campaign headquarters but has not engaged in full-scale election support until now.
