On the 1st, presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol of the People’s Power said, “I thought it was pretentious because (Lee) said that they would have a discussion from last year,” about the failure of a bilateral TV debate with Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung.“He said.

Candidate Yoon met with reporters after visiting the Ganghwa Peace Observatory in Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, on the afternoon of the first day of the new year and said, “I can’t ask questions like an investigative agency investigates, but even if I ask a question about a part that has not been properly verified, it is not easy for[Lee]to answer. I didn’t think it would,” he said.

The Democratic Party of Korea and the People’s Power tentatively agreed to hold a bilateral discussion between Candidate Lee and Candidate Yoon at 6 pm the day before, but It was ultimately canceled while running parallel to the discussion method such as bringing data.. Since then, both parties have been fighting, arguing that the other party is responsible for the failure of the discussion.

Candidate Yoon said, “(Lee’s side) asked to have a discussion, so I boldly accepted it, but he said, ‘Let’s talk about the Daejang-dong allegation for 10 minutes’ or ‘Don’t bring any materials’.” We were able to discuss as much as we wanted in the 3rd place, but the National Election Commission, which seems to be filled with pro-passport personnel, cut down that it is absolutely not possible to broadcast and even record broadcasts,” he said.

He continued, “This is why the National Election Commission banned the bilateral discussion between this candidate and me again, so wouldn’t it be obvious?” (Democratic Party) also We are doing this with other restrictions, but if we are going to be pretentious like that, please don’t ask for a bilateral discussion at all.”He hit this candidate directly.

Recently, Lee pointed out that the part of candidate Lee’s publicity campaign through a short message of 7 to 10 characters on SNS is also imitating him.

Candidate YoonStarting with a recent Facebook message, I follow all the terms I use in my speeches.He sarcastically said, “The discussion between Candidate Lee and Candidate Dong-yeon Kim is in some ways the same as that between me and Candidate Kim.” ‧It undermined the meaning of the bilateral discussion between Candidate Dong-yeon Kim.

Regarding the allegation that Lee’s wife, Kim Hye-kyung, gave private instructions to public officials, he said, “Lee’s side said that an unlimited verification of the public official’s family was necessary, but the prosecution conducted an infinite verification of our family for two years.” “Similarly He said, “I think it’s not about the fact that (Lee) is going to be investigated because he wants to undergo such a verification himself.”
