[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 25th, Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, commented on Song Young-gil, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea's proposal to expel certain lawmakers and his declaration not to run in the general election, saying, "There are parts that are difficult to accept at face value regarding the issue of sincerity."


On the same day, Yoon told reporters that regarding Song's statement to promptly handle the expulsion proposals for lawmakers Park Deok-heum, Yoon Mi-hyang, and Lee Sang-jik, "From the public's perspective, it seems like autocratic management, as if he has been manipulating the National Assembly at will, so people wonder why this wasn't done earlier instead of being delayed," he said.


Regarding Song's remark that Yoon is a reflection of the arrogance and double standards of the Democratic Party government, Yoon said, "I think the public will judge the sincerity of such a sudden announcement made close to the election."


About the profile of his spouse, Kim Geon-hee, being posted on a portal site, he said, "I saw the article and called my wife," adding, "She personally uploaded a brief profile. I heard she plans to upload a more detailed one soon."



When asked if this was in preparation for official schedules, he replied, "She posted her name and photo very briefly, saying she would add a bit more like others do," and added, "I don't really know what she plans to do."
