Lee Dong-hoon, spokesman for former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, a leading opposition presidential contender, has stepped down from his position as spokesperson.



It has been ten days since I was appointed as the spokesperson for former President Yoon.



In a message to reporters, former spokesman Lee said, "I am resigning from my position for personal reasons."



Former spokesperson Lee worked as an editorial member of the Chosun Ilbo and was appointed as a spokesperson for former President Yoon on the 10th.



As the spokesperson, who is the 'mouth' of the presidential runner-up, stepped down from his position, it is interpreted that former President Yoon's presidential ideology also met a stumbling block from the beginning.



In the political circles, analysis is coming out that the message confusion that occurred on the 18th as to whether or not former President Yoon joined the party with the help of the people had an effect on his resignation.



Former spokesman Lee made the fact that former President Yoon joined the party through the people's power in a radio broadcast on the morning of the same day.



However, shortly afterward, former President Yoon said that he would decide whether to join the party after a tour of the people's livelihood, and sent out a message that he would make a decision on the matter of joining the party carefully without being reckless.
