◀ anchor ▶

With the power of the people approaching a week before the candidacy is decided, the battle between the presidential candidates is getting very rough.

Candidate Hong Jun-pyo said, ‘There is not much time left until Candidate Seok-yeol Yoon takes the role of the alley leader. A swarm of flies are coming,’ he even said.

Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol responded, ‘Is it okay for a person who has been in politics to use such an expression?’

Reporter Kim Jung-in will tell you.

Candidate Hong Jun-pyo strongly pushed candidate Yoon Seok-yeol through SNS in the morning, saying, “There are only a few days left to gather all the politicians who have flowed out and serve as an alley leader” and “Flies flock only to rotten places.”

He said that it would be difficult for Yoon to win the final, and that his goal was to become an opposition candidate rather than the president.

“Isn’t it a strategy to become an opposition candidate (by any means) and try to protect yourself or your family with a frame of political repression?”

Candidate Yoon claimed that he was the one who brought the spark of regime change to life, and argued that winning with Yun Seok-yeol would inflict the most painful defeat on the current government.

He also dismissed Candidate Hong’s various offensives, saying that there is no difference between the public sentiment and party sentiment toward regime change.

“I think that it is rather self-denial that someone with decades of experience says such a thing.”

The aftershocks of the TV debate continued.

“Why are you asking me. Talk to me first.”

“It’s just that the question makes me feel vile…”

Candidate Hong, who even uttered harsh words of “disgusting” about Won’s debating attitude, did not hide his displeasure today, and Candidate Won Hee-ryong was furious, saying he was disrespectful.

“Is this a vulgar question? That’s the kind of brazen, arrogant debate attitude that you’re not interested in and you’re not prepared…”

On social media, rumors of unification among the candidates and rumors of support for a specific camp by the party leadership are circulating, and even clashes among supporters are created.

Representative Lee Jun-seok said, “Very worrying things are happening one after another,” urging each camp to refrain.
