Yoon "Is your stance on dismantling chaebols unchanged?" vs Lee "Dismantling the unfair system of the chaebol regime"

Terrestrial Broadcasters' Presidential Candidate Debate

[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, exchanged arguments over the issue of dismantling conglomerates.

During a joint presidential candidate debate hosted by the three major terrestrial broadcasters on the 3rd, Candidate Yoon asked, "In 2017, right after you announced your presidential bid, you said you were willing to risk everything to dismantle conglomerates. Do you still think that way?"

Candidate Lee responded, "To state the fact accurately, I said I would dismantle the conglomerate system," adding, "I intend to dismantle issues such as one-person control of conglomerates, internal transactions, unfair inheritance, and abuse of control rights, and transform them into a normal group of large corporations."

Candidate Yoon then asked again, "Because conglomerates have these kinds of corrupt practices, are you saying you want to dismantle conglomerates to prevent such (control rights) abuses?"

Candidate Lee replied, "I think you misunderstood me. I am not saying to dismantle conglomerates themselves, but to dismantle the conglomerate system. I mean to dismantle the unfair system."
