Sim Sang-jung, the Justice Party presidential candidate, said on the 13th that it is "regrettable and disappointing" that Ahn Cheol-soo, the People’s Party presidential candidate, proposed unification to Yoon Seok-youl, the People Power Party presidential candidate.

Sim said in an SNS message that "In this presidential election, Ahn Cheol-soo has strongly expressed his will to overcome the two-party system. However, today he proposed unification to Yoon Seok-youl," and criticized, "Although he claimed the cause of ending the old system and regime change, is it possible to break away from the old system by joining hands with one pillar of that system?" He added, "Where did the declaration that regime change between the two parties would only be a change of vested interests go?"

Sim emphasized, "Hasn't unification been abused as a means to extend the incompetent two-party system that has lost the trust of the people?" and "We must end the tiresome hostile symbiotic politics of the two parties that force the people to accept the less bad president."

He said, "I will firmly oppose the 35 years of two-party politics that made South Korea a winner-takes-all society," and "I will continue to pioneer the path where labor, youth, women, countless minorities and the weak, and the majority of ordinary people erased by the two parties become the main stream of politics with pride."
