[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Ju-hyung] Jin Seong-jun, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, strongly criticized Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, for his 'uppercut ceremony.' He claimed, "It's the posture of prosecutors getting drunk when they get good singing scores at a room salon."

On the 24th, while hosting a street rally for Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, held at Youth Street in Chungju, Chungbuk, Jin said, "Someone told me that prosecutors go to room salons, drink, and do an uppercut when they get good scores."

He continued, "Where should we send a candidate who drinks? To the Ramada (hotel)?" and emphasized, "Let's send the drinking candidate to the Ramada, and where should we send the hardworking candidate? Let's send them to the Blue House."

This is not the first time Jin has criticized Yoon's 'uppercut' posture.

Earlier, on the 16th, appearing on JTBC's 'Ssulzun,' he pointed out, "Isn't an uppercut a move used to hit someone? If it doesn't mean hitting someone, then what does it mean? Most of Yoon's campaign content criticizes and judges the Moon Jae-in administration and emphasizes regime change. At the end, he said he would win and threw an uppercut."

He added, "If we were to assign meaning to it, wouldn't it mean hitting the Moon Jae-in administration with one punch?"

In response, Seong Il-jong, a member of the People Power Party who appeared on the broadcast that day, drew a line by saying, "It's just an expression of confidence. There's no need to overinterpret it."

Meanwhile, since the official start of the election campaign on the 15th, Yoon has been showcasing the 'uppercut ceremony' at campaign sites. At a street rally in Seomyeon, Busan, when supporters flew red paper airplanes, he passionately said, "Is Busan not fun? When I get off in front of Busan Station, my heart races. Busan is such a fun and wonderful place," while striking the uppercut pose.
