[Asia Economy Reporters Kum Boryeong and Lee Myunghwan] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, expressed the view that "reforming the electoral system is more necessary than constitutional amendment."

On the evening of the 25th, during the second presidential candidate TV debate hosted by the National Election Commission, Candidate Yoon stated, "In political reform, I believe that reforming the electoral system is more important than the issue of constitutional amendment."

He also said, "This (electoral system reform) is not something that should be handled as a presidential campaign pledge," adding, "If entrusted with the government, we need to consult with the party to first restore the public's trust in the National Assembly, and the first step is the method of electing members of the National Assembly."

He continued, "Personally, even before engaging in politics, I have preferred the multi-member district system to ensure the representation of the people."
