[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, began attacking by mentioning the spouse of Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party presidential candidate, during the four-party TV debate.


On the afternoon of the 11th, at the second four-party TV debate hosted by the Korea Journalists Association, Lee said to Yoon, "There are many rumors that your wife is involved in stock manipulation of Deutsche Motors. You said you have not traded since May, but there are reports of dozens of trades," and pointed out, "Stock manipulation causes thousands to tens of thousands of victims and has nothing to do with fairness."



In response, Yoon said, "The prosecution has investigated related accounts and individuals for over two years, and although this is a smaller case compared to the Daejang-dong Gate involving Lee, the prosecution deployed more personnel, but no problems have been revealed so far," adding, "I even disclosed the accounts during the primary election."
