[Asia Economy reporters Hyunju Lee and Hyunji Kwon] Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, moved to Pohang, Gyeongbuk on the 27th after concluding a press conference on opposition party unification talks and carried out his scheduled events. Yoon described this presidential election as "a confrontation between the common sense of the great people of the Republic of Korea and the corruption of Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party," appealing for support.

On that day, Yoon took the stage set up in front of Buk Pohang Post Office in Buk-gu, Pohang City, Gyeongbuk, seemingly aware of the recent announcement by the Democratic Party of Korea to push for multi-party reform as party policy. He criticized, "If there had been even 10% sincerity, shouldn't they have brought this up around the start of the election campaign, even if they couldn't do it earlier, since the people elected them overwhelmingly?" He added, "Now, with just ten days left until the presidential election, they are trying to muddy the waters of public opinion for regime change by calling it political reform and are holding another party meeting among themselves," and scolded, "Isn't this a clear demonstration of how they disregard the people, deceive the people, and treat the people as objects of manipulation and brainwashing?"

Yoon then emphasized, "Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party politicians putting on a political show in front of the people just 10 days before the election are not the owners of this country," adding, "You are the sovereigns and the owners." He continued, "I, Yoon Seok-yeol, have never pursued any personal interests or gains during my public service," and said, "I have devoted myself solely to fighting corruption that torments the people, you."

Yoon said, "Since you have called me out and raised me to this position, I will drive out the incompetent and corrupt forces that torment the people and create a country where you, the people, can truly feel like the sovereign owners of the nation."

At this event, he targeted candidate Lee, saying, "Looking at what the Democratic Party regime has done, they blocked investigations into corruption," emphasizing, "How much corruption must there be to block investigations? There has never been a government like this." He also criticized the investigation related to Daejang-dong in Seongnam City as sloppy and inadequate.

After moving to Jukdo Market in Pohang, Yoon met with merchants and urged, "Please do not be fooled by the Democratic Party’s last-minute, stingy budget giveaways and vote-buying ahead of the election," stressing, "Because of a government that lies well, you have been toyed with. I will become an honest government and an honest president."
