[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Jo Won-jin, the presidential candidate of the Our Republican Party, stated, "There is a high probability that a message from former President Park Geun-hye will be released before the presidential election."

On the 14th, Jo appeared on CBS Radio's 'Hanpan Seungbu' and said, "Whether it is a message of gratitude to the people or a political message, if (Park's recovery) is delayed and she comes out (of the hospital) after the election, another message will be released," expressing this view.

Regarding Park's condition, Jo explained, "If her health is 100, she is at 30%. It seems to be gradually improving," adding, "There is no problem mentally at all. She originally had chronic illnesses, and her whole body was deteriorated because of that." He also said about her discharge, "There is a possibility it might be delayed a bit more. It depends on the recovery situation."

About Park's message, Jo said, "She expresses gratitude, but I don't know what kind of message she will deliver," and added, "Former President Park does not support Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, but she is not very favorable toward Yoon Seok-youl, the People Power Party presidential candidate." He continued, "The decision is made by the president."

Jo directed sharp criticism at Yoon Seok-youl, saying, "We do not consider him a conservative candidate." He raised his voice, saying, "Yoon is also seen as part of the deep-rooted evils. He took a stance by demanding a 45-year sentence for President Park when he was Prosecutor General, and when Lee Jae-yong, the Vice Chairman of Samsung, was arrested, he applauded and made a fuss, didn't he?" Regarding Yoon's remarks on 'clearing out the deep-rooted evils of the Moon Jae-in administration,' Jo pointed out, "It is not right for the deep-rooted evil forces to clear out the deep-rooted evils."

Meanwhile, Park was specially pardoned at the end of last year and is receiving treatment at Samsung Seoul Hospital. After discharge, it is reported that she is likely to reside in Dalseong-gun, Daegu, which was her former parliamentary constituency. Her close aide, lawyer Yoo Young-ha, purchased a country house located in Dalseong-gun, Daegu, last month for 2.5 billion won.
