[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, emphasized peace through strength on the 28th, stating, "It seems to be only a matter of time before North Korea breaks the moratorium on nuclear tests and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test launches."

On the same day, Yoon posted on his Facebook, saying, "On the 27th, North Korea's Rodong Sinmun announced that it conducted an important test for reconnaissance satellite development and released photos taken from a reconnaissance camera over the Korean Peninsula," adding, "The possibility of an ICBM launch under the pretext of a satellite launch is increasing."

He continued, "Yesterday's North Korean test launch violates UN Resolutions 1718 and 1874, which prohibit all North Korean ballistic missile-related activities and the use of ballistic missile technology for launches," emphasizing, "We strongly condemn North Korea's provocations that blatantly violate UN resolutions together with all our citizens."

He stated, "Our government still fails to call North Korea's provocations provocations, and candidate Lee Jae-myung even said during his campaign rally in Changwon yesterday that North Korea's missile launches are 'originally routine,'" adding, "We must regard North Korea's provocations not as 'routine' but as 'emergency' and 'abnormal' and keep our guard up." He further said, "With Russia's invasion of Ukraine, our people are deeply feeling the importance of security," and concluded, "I, Yoon Seok-yeol, will achieve 'peace through strength' based on strong deterrence."
