Former President Yoon Seok-youl attended a film screening that claims election fraud, and in response, Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party of Korea's presidential candidate, noted, "I don't understand." In contrast, Kim Moon-soo, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, said that the party needs to make efforts to clarify its position to the National Election Commission.
The candidate met with reporters on the 21st before a campaign rally in Incheon Namdong-gu and responded to the question, "How do you view former President Yoon's actions?" by saying, "Didn’t he win the election with that election system?" and "What happens if this is called election fraud?"
He emphasized that the People Power Party's attempt to distance itself from former President Yoon was evident, saying, "Earlier, the People Power Party claimed that they would disavow former President Yoon within 100 days, and it actually happened," and added, "In the future, they will deny even more strongly."
He also stated, "Former President Yoon did not leave without cheering while departing the party. In the end, they remain united as one body," and remarked, "Soon, the People Power Party will bow deeply and apologize, but the public's political awareness level is not so low as to be deceived by that."
Kim Moon-soo, the candidate, stated regarding former President Yoon's film viewing, "I don't know what the film is, but South Korea's elections must be fair. If anyone raises allegations of election fraud, the National Election Commission should continue to make efforts to clarify these claims."
Candidate Kim mentioned that former President Yoon's departure from the party would have "a positive impact," and added, "There are many controversies and various variables regarding approval ratings, but overall, it will be helpful."
As a measure to raise approval ratings, he said, "Extraordinary measures will come from Lee Jun-seok, who is currently campaigning after stepping down as our party's leader," and noted, "This candidate will ultimately become the main player leading our victory in the presidential election through the unification with me."
