On the 12th, former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, a presidential candidate for the People’s Power, called Lee Jun-seok, the representative of the People’s Power, and expressed regret for the so-called ‘impeachment’ remarks of his camp’s political affairs director, Shin Ji-ho. As the conflict between the two sides escalated to a point of view, it is understood that former President Yoon himself attempted to evolve.

During a phone call with a reporter on the afternoon of the same day, CEO Lee said, “I was contacted by former President Yoon and spoke on the phone. An official from Yoon’s side also said, “I know that former President Yoon emphasized the need for party unity and unity, and he talked about it in a phone call with President Lee.”

Earlier, former president Yoon met with reporters on the same day and answered a question about Shin Ji-ho’s remarks about impeachment, saying, “The party’s unity and unity is desperately needed for regime change. I asked everyone in the camp not to say or do anything that would upset unity and unity.”

Previously, Shin Ji-ho appeared on CBS Radio the day before and talked about Lee Jun-seok’s ‘impeachment’, saying, “Even if the decision of the party leader is not based on the Constitution and the law, even if the president of the Republic of Korea is not based on the Constitution, it is impeachment.” In response, CEO Jun-seok Lee criticized on his Facebook page on the same day, saying, “(Ex-President Yoon’s) continued boycott and passing controversy, and it became clear what the purpose of the attack was.”

As the controversy intensified with the addition of party leaders and presidential candidates, former President Yoon himself began to evolve, and Shin said through the camp, “I sincerely apologize for putting a burden on the party and the party leader as it was interpreted as a misleading remark. I will tell you,” he said.

Despite the direct communication between President Yoon and CEO Lee, the spark of conflict still lingers. The positions of both sides are hardly narrowing down on the first policy debate for the presidential candidates scheduled for the 18th. In the phone call, CEO Lee said, “Except for one camp (Ex-President Yoon), all camps expressed their intention to participate in the debate, but it is a comedy not to hold a debate in the current situation.”

Although many of the top committee members insist that the debate be canceled on the grounds that the decision to hold the debate is outside the authority of the Preparatory Committee for Primary Election, President Lee has a strong will to carry out the debate. Yoon’s side has yet to make a decision on whether to attend the debate or not. A camp official said in a phone call, “Isn’t the situation in which the debate itself is held is not clear as most of the top members oppose it?” “The party must come to a conclusion first,” and passed the ball to the party leadership.
