[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Blue House openly expressed displeasure over People Power Party candidate Yoon Seok-yeol's remarks on 'clearing out deep-rooted evils.'

A senior Blue House official told reporters on the 9th, "According to media reports, Candidate Yoon's statements have been reported. We express that this is very inappropriate and highly unpleasant," adding, "And even though it is an election, there are lines that must be respected."

On the same day, in an interview with JoongAng Ilbo, when asked whether he would investigate the deep-rooted evils of the previous administration if he came to power, Yoon replied, "Of course." He also emphasized that the administration must take responsibility for using the prosecution to commit crimes.

Additionally, on the party's YouTube channel on the 8th, he said, "There is a massive group surrounding President Moon, which is a typical example of double standards."

It is unusual for the Blue House, which had refrained from evaluating or commenting on Yoon's remarks until now, to express displeasure. It is reported that even within the Blue House aides, there is an assessment that Yoon's recent comments related to the Moon administration have "crossed the line."
