[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Bo-ryeong] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, has pledged to "recover all illegal profits from civic groups" and to pass the "Yoon Mi-hyang Prevention Act."

On the 1st, Yoon stated on his Facebook, "I will recover all illegal profits from civic groups and use them to help struggling self-employed individuals and vulnerable people." This is an extension of his brief post the previous day that said "recover all illegal profits from civic groups."

Yoon pointed out, "At some point, certain civic groups lost their original mission of monitoring and checking political power and instead formed collusive relationships with political authorities," adding, "As a result, political power supported civic groups with tax money, and a corrupt cartel supporting the authorities was created within civic groups."

He continued, "There were even cases like Justice and the Liberation Association, which were condemned by the entire nation for embezzling taxes and donations," criticizing, "They turned the tragedy of our history into a means for their own embezzlement and career advancement."

Yoon emphasized, "I will recover all illegal profits from civic groups," and added, "I will also push for the passage of the 'Yoon Mi-hyang Prevention Act' to prevent the misuse of public funds and accounting fraud within civic groups."

He further stated, "Rather than the Democratic Party of Korea suddenly deciding to expel Representative Yoon Mi-hyang as the election approaches, I hope they sincerely apologize for their past attitude and show genuine willingness to accept my pledge once again."
