“People’s Strength Presidential Election Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol announced on the 3rd that Kim Jong-in, former chairman of the emergency response committee, has accepted the post of general election chairman.” Candidate Yoon disclosed this fact shortly after meeting with People’s Power Representative Lee Jun-seok in Ulsan on the same day. Analysts say that the conflict between Candidate Yoon and CEO Lee has entered the closure process.

After having a dinner with Representative Lee at a restaurant in Ulju-gun, Ulsan, Candidate Yoon said, “Dr. It will be in full control,” he said.

Regarding the conflict with Candidate Yoon, Lee, who was with him, said, “I’m going to tell you now, but there was a mutual agreement with Yoon before the start of this election and even before he joined the party. .

Regarding the so-called ‘Yunhakwan’ controversy, he said, “I pointed out a key person to send a severe warning.

He continued, “I have never had any disagreements with the candidates,” he said. “That’s why I want people who have said many things about my relationship with the candidate to be ashamed,” Lee said.

Regarding the recruitment of Professor Lee Su-jeong of Kyonggi University, CEO Lee said, “I respect the opinion of the candidate and make an open statement, so there is no error. I said goodbye.”

Candidate Yoon headed to Ulsan on the afternoon of the same day to meet CEO Lee at around 7:30 pm. It has been four days since CEO Lee went undercover. The two had dinner and beer for about two hours.

Afterwards, Candidate Yoon and Representative Lee later signed an agreement, saying, “On important matters related to the presidential election, the candidate, the party leader, and the floor leader decided to closely share everything and strengthen direct communication.” “In particular, active communication with the younger generation We agreed on the point that policy actions are the most important thing in this election,” he said.

“As for the candidate’s priorities in party affairs, the party agreed to interpret the party’s priorities as requesting the party representative for the affairs necessary for the election, and the party representative respecting and following the will of the candidate,” he said. He added, “On a number of other issues, the candidates, party leaders, and floor leaders have decided to become one without a single wave in support of the people’s aspirations for regime change.”
