[Asia Economy Reporters Bomryeong Kim, Joohee Kang] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, mentioned Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, and the 'Daejang-dong scandal' on the 24th in Suwon, aiming to win votes. It is interpreted as an attempt to turn the metropolitan area public opinion in the 'home turf' of candidate Lee.

On the afternoon of the same day, at a concentrated rally in front of Paldalmun in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, candidate Yoon criticized candidate Lee and the Democratic Party, saying, "Even if they are incompetent and incapable, were they clean?" He added, "Kim Man-bae (major shareholder of Hwacheon Daeyu) and his group took 850 billion won with 350 million won, and received dividends up to 1 trillion won. Isn't this itself corruption?" Suwon is where the Gyeonggi Provincial Government Office is located, where candidate Lee served as governor.

Yoon continued, "Did the 850 billion won just go into the pockets of a few people in Kim Man-bae's group and disappear?" He said, "I have dealt with corrupt criminals for over 20 years, but this case has many accomplices and many people sharing the spoils, so it all ends up like this. Such a person became the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, so what kind of party would this be?"

He also pointed out problems related to real estate. Candidate Yoon said, "Have you ever seen such an incompetent government on earth that changed real estate policies twenty-eight times like this? Did the government make mistakes because they didn't know better, or was it intentional?" He criticized, "The Democratic Party only sees extending their rule. The policies they made inevitably bring more pain to ordinary people and vulnerable groups."

He raised his voice in criticism of the ruling party's supplementary budget as well. Yoon said, "Recently, the Democratic Party engaged in vote-buying by giving 3 million won to self-employed and small business owners, saying the election was just around the corner." He added, "If public policies like quarantine caused losses to self-employed and small business owners, their rights should be guaranteed by law. I and the People Power Party have been calling for compensation since last year, but they only talked about universal support payments. Now, when the People Power Party tries to propose a 50 trillion won supplementary budget, they rushed through 14 trillion won at dawn."

Yoon also stated, "If I take office in the new government, I will immediately secure 50 trillion won in funds and announce a plan to generously compensate self-employed and small business owners who suffered losses first." He said, "Don't you want to avoid experiencing politics that pretends to protect self-employed and small business owners but only boasts about giving 3 million won among so many damages?"

He then addressed the citizens of Suwon, saying, "Since the ruling party's presidential candidate was the governor here, you have properly experienced what the Democratic Party regime is like." He added, "You came here because you absolutely cannot stand to see such a regime extended, right?"

On the same day, candidate Yoon also showed an 'uppercut' ceremony. Responding to the MC's request for an uppercut, Yoon raised both hands, clenched his fists, performed the uppercut gesture several times, and then concluded the rally.
