Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who was the chairman of the judiciary committee of the National Assembly, praised himself as “the most convenient relationship he can contact.”
The speech of the opposition mayor of Seoul was relatively cautious.
People’s Power Candidate Se-hoon Oh said, “Some kind of communication has begun”, and candidate Ahn Chul-soo of the National Assembly Party said, “If necessary, we can meet.”
The unification negotiation between the two marks the target point.
Through public opinion polls on the 17th and 18th, they agreed to confirm a single candidate on the 19th, the deadline for registration.

In connection with the allegations that the National Intelligence Service during the Lee Myung-bak administration had illegally inspected environmental groups that opposed the Four Rivers Project, the Democratic Party argued that Busan Mayor Park Hyeong-joon, who was then the Blue House Public Relations Officer, was involved.
However, Candidate Park dismissed it as “a typical negative offensive,” saying, “There is no order for illegal inspection.”
