[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Yoon Young-chan, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 19th, "I regret Kim Eo-jun's remark that 'the third primary electorate = Shincheonji.'

On the same day, Yoon said on Facebook, "Yesterday, broadcaster Kim Eo-jun raised suspicions of the People Power Party's connection to Shincheonji on the YouTube channel 'Das Bweida,' citing our party's primary as an example," adding, "He claimed that Shincheonji members participated in the third Super Week of our party's primary and voted for then-candidate Lee Nak-yeon."

Yoon criticized, "Interpreting public opinion flows that one does not understand as the work or conspiracy of a particular religion is inappropriate," and added, "The recklessness of judging public opinion based on conspiracy theories only increases disgust toward politics." He continued, "It is an insult to the citizens who act according to their conscience," emphasizing, "It is difficult to tolerate such a serious insult to the entire Democratic Party election committee, which is now working together as one team to win the presidential election."

Yoon questioned, "If those who supported candidate Lee Nak-yeon in the third Super Week were Shincheonji members, why would presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung have asked him to serve as the general election committee chairman?" He asked, "Are you saying that the Democratic Party is a party trying to win the presidential election by riding on the Shincheonji faction?"

Yoon demanded, "I call for an apology from Kim Eo-jun and the other speakers who were present," and said, "Apologize for insulting our party members and sovereign citizens as members of a cult."
