[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, promised the complete abolition of business hour restrictions and the vaccine pass, as well as substantial compensation for losses caused by COVID-19. In particular, he announced that if elected, he would compensate up to 10 million won in quarantine support funds.

On the 26th, Candidate Yoon stated on Facebook, "The 3 million won quarantine support fund passed in this supplementary budget is an insufficient amount."

First, he said, "I promise to completely abolish business hour restrictions and the vaccine pass and provide substantial compensation for losses caused by COVID-19." Regarding the vaccine pass, he emphasized, "Although 96% of the entire population has been vaccinated, confirmed cases have surged, raising doubts about the vaccine's effectiveness and causing the justification for the vaccine pass to diminish. Other countries are regaining their daily freedoms, but we remain the same. It is time for change."

He continued, "What small business owners and self-employed people, who are pushed to their limits, want most is to operate freely 24 hours a day as before," adding, "This is an essential and natural step to regain 'normal life.'"

He also said, "Although the 3 million won quarantine support fund passed in this supplementary budget is insufficient, I hope it will be like a timely rain for the people who are struggling day by day," and promised, "If I become president, I will immediately provide an additional 6 million won separate from the existing government plan, supporting up to 10 million won."
