[Asia Economy Reporters Naju-seok and Park Joon-yi] "It started and ended quickly."

Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, made this overall comment after finishing the four-candidate presidential debate on the 3rd.

After completing the presidential candidate television debate hosted by the three major terrestrial broadcasters, Yoon responded to reporters' questions about his overall impression by saying, "Since it was a multi-candidate debate, I wrote down questions on paper to ask, but I couldn't ask even 5% of them," adding, "While answering, there was no time left to ask questions."

Regarding the one-on-one debate with Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, he said, "Let's not waste time anyway," and added, "The one-on-one debate is not broadcast or recorded at all, so what's the point of such a debate?" He also seemed to acknowledge the cancellation of the one-on-one debate due to issues with carrying materials, mentioning, "I brought all the materials with me."

When asked if the suspicions about candidate Lee had been clarified, he said, "There was no time to raise them," and added, "When you ask something, he talks about irrelevant things. It shows a lack of confidence."

He said, "When asked about the developments he undertook during his time as mayor, he says the People Power Party did it," and added, "The answer should be whether it was legitimate or if he was unaware, but instead, he talks about Kim Man-bae's sister buying his father's house. What does that have to do with Daejang-dong?"
