After former President Yoon Suk-yeol threw down the post of prosecutor general, public opinion polls are rapidly rising. According to the results of the Gallup Korea poll, which conducts a monthly survey on the preferences of the next political leader, Former President Yoon Suk-yeol started at 1% in early 2020 and climbed to 13% after the conflict between Chu Miae and Yoon Seok-yeol. After President Moon Jae-in said at a New Year’s press conference as “the prosecutor general of the Moon Jae-in administration,” it fell to 9%, and after the resignation of the prosecutor general, it quickly soared to 24%. It is the same as Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong (refer to the website of the Central Election Poll Deliberation Committee).

What is the reason for the sudden rise in the approval rating of former president Yoon Suk-yeol? I think there are two. First, because there are no strong presidential candidates in the opposition. This is a reflection of the alternative member. Second, it is anti-politicalism. Voters who are disgusted by existing politicians support former President Yoon Suk-yeol.

The alternative absence theory is not a difficult story. After the impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye, conservative voters supported Hong Joon-pyo in 2017 and Hwang Gyo-an in 2019, but now they are supporting Yoon Suk-yeol. Therefore, if anyone, including Hong Joon-pyo, Yoo Seung-min, Won Hee-ryong, and Oh Se-hoon, emerges as the influential presidential candidates in the opposition, the support of former President Yoon Suk-yeol will disappear like bubbles. Anti-politicalism needs some explanation. Anti-politicalism is an ideology created by the Park Chung-hee and Chun Doo-hwan regime in power through a coup and circulated by the vested powers of capital and the vested divisions of division. People infected with anti-politicalism think that “no need to lean on politics” or “the ruling party and the opposition party are the same guys.” They do not vote at all, or choose political parties or candidates with no chance of winning. After the presidential election in 1987, there is anti-politicalism behind the phantom of the’third candidate theory’ in the presidential election. However, the’third candidate’ has never been elected. In 1992, the vote of the Unification National Party candidate Chung Ju-young was 16.31%. In 1997, the candidate for the National New Party in Lee In-je was 19.20%. In 2002, the Democratic Labor Party candidate Kwon Young-gil was 3.89%. Candidate Young-gil Kwon cannot be called the third candidate. In 2007, independent candidate Hoi-Chang Lee received 15.07% of the votes. In 2012, there were no strong third candidates running. In 2017, National Assembly candidate Ahn Chul-soo received 21.41% of the votes. Among them, it can be said that candidate Chung Ju-young and Ahn Chul-soo was a typical anti-political candidate. In particular, CEO Ahn Chul-soo, after surrendering the candidate of Seoul Mayor to Lawyer Park Won-soon in 2011, entered politics by riding anti-political waves. In 2011, something like this will come out.

Q: You are saying that the situation in which you are being referred to as a presidential candidate was completely unexpected. Answer: I was surprised a lot. I wondered if the disappointment in the political reality that could not relieve the people’s frustration was gathered as an expectation for me. Someone named it the’Ahn Cheol-soo phenomenon’, and it overcomes the things that people feel as a’specific system’, that is, a social structure that blocks the movement of political parties and classes that do not reflect the people’s thoughts, and an economic system that deepens the gap between the rich and the poor Isn’t it that the public sentiment that yearns for’future values’ that can give you hope and hope? I felt that it was difficult to resist that aspiration simply because I was inadequate and unprepared. ‘Will I be able to live up to this expectation?’ I couldn’t help worrying about it. Until now, I made a decision based on’how much can I contribute to the positive changes in our society’ for every big turning point in life. And I tried to put it into action by actions, not words. In this context, I felt the responsibility to represent the aspirations of the people, whether it was to directly jump into politics and make positive changes, or play a role in infusing tension in established politics without having to do so. I came to think that whether or not I participate in politics is not determined by my greed, but rather that it is something that is given.

And to the question,’Can I take on the role of the President even though I have not been in politics?’ I replied this way.

I think the lack of political experience is definitely my weakness. I am thinking that it would be difficult to become president without going through the mayor or a member of the National Assembly once. That’s why I am deeply worried about’Is really qualified?’ (omitted) But on the other hand, I also think like this. I think it’s rather fortunate that there are few’bad experiences’ in an era when we have to break up with the’old system’. When former US President Bill Clinton was in the presidential race, he was attacked a lot for his lack of career compared to other candidates. At that time, Clinton refuted: “It is true that the political experience is not long. However, there are two experiences. It’s a good experience and a bad experience. It is better not to experience anything rather than to have a bad experience for a long time.” President Barack Obama said the same thing in a similar situation. I also think that it may be an advantage to have no bad experience in established politics. Also, although I have no experience as a politician, I have been working hard to create new values in society for a long period of time, and I think these experiences will be of great help if I do politics.

If I ask the same question to former Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol now, I think a similar answer will come out. Former President Yoon Suk-yeol has no choice but to put forth the logic that “running for president is not a greed but a calling” and “it is better to have no political experience”. They are either CEO Ahn Chul-soo, former President Yoon Suk-yeol, or people who entered politics on the waves of anti-politicalism. Former President Yoon Suk-yeol clearly stated through a column that politics should not be allowed. However, among the so-called conservative disposition, there are some people who argue that there is no reason for former President Yoon Suk-yeol to become the presidential election. We looked at what kind of logical structure it had.

On March 8th, it was the Moon administration of Pahl Hal who raised the column of Park Je-gyun Chi Park, Seok-Yeol Yoon. I cannot affirm that politics is a living creature, but Seok-Yeol Yoon will enter the presidential election. No, it is more accurate to say that you cannot but jump in. Yoon Seok-yeol may not have meant to be politician in the first place, but he is a person who fits politics better than he thought. The so-called Gura who reads 10 pages of a book as if reading a book, a boss temperament that gathers juniors to make a drink and solves the gura, a coined word that responds with ‘corruption complete’ (corruption is completely sold out)造語) Ability… . In terms of politics, it is’Yeouido constitution’ in that it is excellent in its ability to speak. Perhaps the voice of cheers for’Suk-yeol Yoon’, who were tired of the facts and tyranny of the Moon Jae-in administration, awakened his sleeping political instinct.

On March 10, Chi Songpyeong-in’s columnist Yoon Seok-yeol’s resignation as the prosecutor general was well done, and a public opinion poll that many people believe that his challenge to power is inappropriate is deceptive. The distortion must have been caused by the respondents who supported Moon Jae-in who wanted to expel Yoon Seok-yeol. Nevertheless, there is not a lot of opposition to people outside the political sphere to jump into politics, which is due to a plausible but unfounded thought that politics should be done by professional politicians. Ideal politics is politics in which professional politicians are led by leaders with a sense of calling.

On March 11, Chi Kim Chang-gyun’s column, Yoon Seok-yeol became a symbol of accusation of the Moon government’s hypocrisy. The opposition presidential candidate is positioned at the exact coordinates of the regime’s counterpoint to which the opposition presidential candidate should stand. In the virtual presidential contest, only Yun Suk-yeol competes with the passport presidential runners. This is because the anti-munition energy is condensed in one person, Yun Suk-yeol. If the opposition party wants to prevent the Moon regime from recreating, it cannot bypass Yun Suk-yeol. You have to either embrace him or step over him.

March 12th Columnar Chi Yun Pyeong-joong The criticism that the challenge of the former prosecutor general’s presidency undermines the prosecution’s neutrality and independence makes sense. However, the reason why Yoon Seok-yeol was raised as a politician was 80% of the tyranny of the Moon Jae-in regime. It is the right and duty of sovereign citizens to resist when democratically elected power destroys democracy and rule of law. There is no reason why Yoon Suk-yeol cannot take over the presidency held by Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, who were sentenced to political bankruptcy, and Moon Jae-in, who suffered public life.

How is it? In simple terms, “The Moon Jae-in regime made former President Yoon Suk-yeol a presidential election.” Do you think it makes sense for these arguments of conservative commentators? Everyone has different ideas, so I don’t want to directly refute the arguments of conservative conservatives. However, it is difficult to admit the claim that a person with only a lifetime prosecutor can do a good job. Former President Lee Myung-bak served as a member of the National Assembly and mayor of Seoul, while former President Park Geun-hye served as a member of the National Assembly and the representative of political parties. President Moon Jae-in served as the president of the Blue House, the chief of the secretary, a member of the National Assembly, and a representative of the political party. It is difficult to carry out the presidency well even with such much experience in state affairs and political experience. “There is no reason why Yoon Suk-yeol cannot take over the presidency held by Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, who were sentenced to political bankruptcy, and Moon Jae-in, who suffered public life.” What I think is sophistication. What do you think? Can former President Yoon Suk-yeol really perform the duties of President of the Republic of Korea better than Presidents Lee Myung-bak, Park Geun-hye, and Moon Jae-in? Is it legitimate for someone who has no experience in politics or state administration to come forward to become president? Senior Reporter Seong Han-yong [email protected]
