[Asia Economy Reporters Kang Juhee and Kwon Hyunji in Hongseong] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, visited Hongseong on the 22nd and criticized, "The Democratic Party government claimed to be on the side of powerless commoners, workers, farmers, and socially vulnerable groups, but has polarization been resolved under this administration?" He added, "We can no longer tolerate this administration's incompetence and corruption."

During a campaign rally in Naepo New Town, Hongseong County, Chungnam, Yoon questioned, "Why must we change the government? The Democratic Party government spent over 500 trillion won more in five years than the previous administration under President Park Geun-hye," and asked, "But did they create jobs? Did they solve the housing and real estate problems?"

He stated, "Our people are smarter and more diligent than those of any other country in the world, so the economy cannot fail to prosper. If the president does not act foolishly and the government does not make stupid mistakes, why would the people not live well and the economy fail to grow?" He pointed out, "Unless we eliminate power-driven corruption, the economy cannot prosper."

He continued, "This is the result of people still trapped by the old leftist social revolution ideology governing South Korea," and emphasized, "The incompetence and corruption of the Democratic Party government did not happen by chance or mistake. It is not a blunder but intentional."

For the development of the Hongseong area, Yoon promised to establish a renewable energy research and development cluster including the Korea Energy Agency and the Green Energy Research Institute, and to install an affiliated hospital of a national university. He then appealed, "With your overwhelming support, please help me and the People Power Party take charge of the next government so that the future of Hongseong, Yesan, and South Korea can be completely transformed."

Hong Moon-pyo, a lawmaker representing Hongseong, attended the rally and encouraged support for Yoon, saying, "You must make Yoon Seok-yeol president, a candidate who will work devotedly without clinging to power or flattering money."
