On the 3rd, former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol visited Eunpyeonggap, Seoul, which is considered to be one of the most rugged areas of the conservative camp, and put on a shoulder belt with the party name ‘People’s Power’ to encourage him to join the party. An analysis showed that former President Yoon, who joined the military on the 30th of last month, is quickly melting into the power of the people and trying to catch two rabbits of extension.

At 2 pm on the same day, former President Yoon visited the office of the party association committee in Eunpyeong-gap, Seoul, and said, “The Eunpyeong region fought the hardest among the party associations in the country in the last general election, but it caused a dramatic reversal in the April 7 by-election.” It’s the constituency where I graduated from middle and high school, so I feel like I’m back in my hometown,” he said. Former President Yoon graduated from Chungam Middle and High School located in Eungam-dong, Eunpyeong-gu. The event was attended by former president Yoon’s teacher during his time at Chungam High School.
Next, former President Yoon attended an event to encourage membership in the People’s Power Party held near Exit 3 of Eungam Station. Former President Yoon, who wore a suit and tie, was sweating in the heat wave, shaking hands and taking pictures with the citizens who attended the event.
The citizens who filled the venue chanted “President Seok-Yeol Yoon”. Former President Yoon said, “I understand that this place was created for the normalization of the country. I will also actively support the efforts of the Eunpyeong-gap Party Cooperatives and work hard.” “Today, we prepared 1,500 party membership applications, but they ran out in an instant,” said In-jeong Hong, chairman of the People’s Power Party, and Eun Pyung-gap, chairman of the Party Association.

The Eunpyeong-gap area in Seoul, visited by former President Yoon on this day, is considered a representative district with a strong Democratic Party. From the 17th in 2004 to the 21st general election last year, the Democratic Party won five parliamentary elections. It is also the constituency of Park Jumin, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea.
However, in the April 7 by-election for Seoul mayor, in the entire Eunpyeong-gu including Eunpyeong-gap, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon won 51.2% of the votes, defeating then-Democratic candidate Park Young-seon, who recorded 44.9% of the votes. At that time, Mayor Oh held his first campaign in the Eunpyeonggap area since the start of the election campaign. The place I visited before the campaign in Sinchon, the last election campaign schedule, was also Eunpyeonggap.
Earlier, in the morning of the same day, former President Yoon had a meeting with the chairpersons of the Gangbuk region of Seoul at the People’s Strength Party in Yeouido, Seoul. At this meeting, former President Yoon said, “I ran to tears in last year’s general election, but don’t be disappointed if the results didn’t go as expected.
In a meeting with reporters, he also apologized for the ‘snow story’ that followed recently, such as remarks about ‘unclean food’. “When I was a prosecutor, my job was to persuade the judges and the leaders of the organization,” said former President Yoon. I will be more careful in the future.”
On this day, former President Yoon’s actions were thoroughly concentrated in the Gangbuk area of Seoul. In last year’s general election, the People’s Power won eight out of 48 districts in Seoul, and seven of them, except for Yongsan, are all located in the Gangnam area of Seoul. An analysis suggests that former President Yoon is working hard to win the next presidential election in the Gangbuk area of Seoul, where the opposition’s support is weak. Former President Yoon’s side named this extension effort ‘the greater power of the people’.

Former President Yoon also appointed additional camps on the same day. Jang Je-won, a member of the People’s Strength, was appointed as the general manager of the camp general situation room and Lee Yong Lee, a first-time lawmaker, was appointed as the head of the execution office, respectively.

Kim Jin-tae as the leader of the verification team = Meanwhile, People’s Power is strongly considering former lawmaker Kim Jin-tae, a former prosecutor, as the leader of the party’s presidential candidate verification team, which is scheduled to be established soon. In a meeting with reporters on the same day, CEO Lee Jun-seok said, “Most of the people with investigation history within the party are active in specific camps. During his time as an active member of the National Assembly, Kim was called the so-called ‘Sniper Yoon Seok-yeol’, as he was a member of the Legislative and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly and attacked former President Yoon at the personnel hearings. In response, some observers from the political circles speculated that the people’s power leadership was being appointed as a ‘check-in’ for Yoon Seok-yeol.
