Yoon Sang-hyun: "Na, Anti-Yoon Brand... Yoon Degrades Him as a 'Leader Who Can't Even Make Judgments'"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Yoon Sang-hyun, a ruling party presidential candidate and member of the People Power Party, evaluated that former lawmaker Na Kyung-won has become a brand of 'anti-Yoon (反尹).' He pointed out that Na's recent claim that "dismissal is not President Yoon Seok-yeol's true intention" distorted President Yoon as a "leader who cannot even make proper judgments."

On the 18th, Yoon appeared on CBS's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' and said, "She herself is pro-Yoon and said, 'Even if I die and come back to life, I will not be anti-Yoon,' but the current situation has created a stronger image of being anti-Yoon rather than pro-Yoon."

On the previous morning, former lawmaker Na Kyung-won claimed through her social media that "dismissal is not President Yoon's true intention" and that there was a "distortion in the communication process." However, the presidential office refuted this within half a day, and 48 first-term ruling party lawmakers rose up, demanding an official apology.

In this process, her image solidified as anti-Yoon. Yoon also said, "It was somewhat inappropriate that former lawmaker Na involved President Yoon," adding, "It means the president received wrong advice from his close aides and made a wrong judgment, but it was distorted as if the president is a leader who cannot even make proper judgments."

The presidential office's unusual rebuttal to former lawmaker Na's claim is analyzed as indicating communication with the president. Yoon said, "In my view, there must be communication with the president," adding, "former lawmaker Na is not making accurate judgments."

Nevertheless, Yoon left open the possibility that former lawmaker Na might participate in the 'Capital Region Alliance.' He said, "Former lawmaker Na is naturally a lawmaker from the capital region and actively agrees on the importance of capital region elections and the need for representatives from the capital region." Even if Na does not become party leader, she could support People Power Party candidate Ahn Cheol-soo in the runoff vote.
