[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, emphasized on the 15th that "'Abolishing the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family' is indeed one of my core pledges."

On the same day, Yoon posted on his Facebook, stating, "There are rumors circulating that the abolition of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family has been withdrawn from my pledges. This is not true."

He added, "Last Sunday (the 13th), I officially submitted the 'Top 10 Presidential Election Pledges,' which include the abolition of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, to the National Election Commission."

He said, "Some media pointed out that this pledge was missing from the election brochures distributed to households, but this is merely a tailored strategy based on the nature of the promotional materials."

Additionally, Yoon stated, "Once again, I clearly say here that the brief messages I have conveyed to the public so far contain my sincere intentions. The content that many citizens have responded to is precisely my core pledges."

He also said, "I will definitely create a fair society where youth can dream of tomorrow and the people can empathize," concluding with, "Let's achieve a change of government together."

Earlier, on the 7th of last month, Yoon attracted attention by posting a seven-character short pledge on Facebook saying "Abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family." However, some online communities recently pointed out that this pledge was missing from Yoon's election brochures.

In response, Park Min-young, youth advisor of the People Power Party's election campaign headquarters, also stated on Facebook, "Abolishing the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family is definitely a firm pledge," adding, "I will defend it with the belief that the day it is withdrawn will be the day I leave the campaign headquarters, so please kindly ignore the fake news."
