People’s Power Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol announced that he would create a ‘digital government’ in which young people participate extensively in the government.
Yesterday’s apology regarding his wife, Kim Gun-hee, refused to answer the reporter’s question, ‘Did you admit to the allegation of a false career?’
This is reporter Lee Ki-joo’s report.

Candidate Seok-Yeol Yoon attended the interview site to select a youth assistant to participate in the People’s Power Election Commission.
Candidate Yoon emphasized the participation of young people by saying that if he comes to power, he will create a digital platform government in which all the websites of government ministries are integrated into one.

“You also need to study a lot about coding and algorithms like this in the future. You need to upgrade the government function itself.”
In order to operate a government organization as a single platform, the role of young people with digital competitiveness will inevitably increase, and in that flow, there will be more ministers in their 30s.
Candidate Yoon, who had revealed such a concept, closed his mouth again when additional questions were asked about his apology for his wife Kim Gun-hee’s allegations of false career.

“I will ‘no comment’ on that part. I don’t know what will happen in the future…”
It seems to be a statement that still leaves room for disputes over the facts without revealing what part of the apology was made.
Even after Candidate Yoon directly apologized, the controversy over the timing and attitude continues, and within the party, the recent decline in approval ratings overlaps, expressing a sense of crisis.

“You don’t have to be discouraged, you just have to be alert. And you have to get rid of some absurd bravado.”
It is also known that at a luncheon with the strategic advisors in which Candidate Yoon attended, there was also a bitter voice saying, ‘It should not be seen as contrasting with Candidate Jae-myung Lee’s apology.’
The Democratic Party criticized it as ‘Dog Apology Season 2’, referring to the fact that Candidate Yoon posted a photo of an apology to a dog on social media at the time of the controversy over Chun Doo-hwan’s remarks, saying, “Are you saying that I should not ask anymore since I apologized?”
