Kim Jong-in "I wonder if you were the one who ordered the accusation... it's hard to come up with evidence"

Kim Jong-in, former chairman of the Emergency Response Committee for People's Power, said today (16th) regarding the suspicion of Yoon Seok-yeol's 'indictment', "Ahead of the general election, the Prosecutor General, a person with a normal mind will not be able to do such a thing." .

Former Chairman Kim said on the radio today, adding, "I don't see (former Prosecutor General Yoon) as a person with that much judgment."

Former Chairman Kim continued, "There are many people who mistakenly believe that [the suspicion] will have a big impact, but that in itself does not significantly affect the presidential election," he said.

The allegations were defined as "election season maladies," such as the slush fund allegations against the 1997 presidential candidate Kim Dae-jung and the 2002 presidential candidate Lee Hoi-chang's 'Kim Dae-up case'. It may end with one happening."

He also pointed out that the former President Yoon and Park Ji-won, the director of the National Intelligence Service, who reacted violently to the allegations, were "incorrect attitudes."

Former Director Kim said, "It's embarrassing, so even Director of the National Intelligence Service Park Ji-won reacts very excitedly."

Even toward former President Yoon, "Politicians,In particular, people who are trying to become presidents are relieved when they show patience and perseverance in even a little difficult situation,” he said.

Former Chairman Kim predicted, "Yoon Seok-yeol, Hong Jun-pyo, then Yoo Seung-min, in this order," and "I don't know who will be the fourth."

When asked why he did not mention Choi Jae-hyung, former Auditor General, he replied, "I said that the camp was also disbanded recently."

Then, when asked about the possibility of unification with former President Yoon, he said, "I don't think that candidate Choi Jae-hyung is obsessed with being the president himself. I think I will,” he replied.

Regarding Assemblyman Hong Jun-pyo's recent rise in approval ratings, he said, "I think it remains to be seen whether this will continue.

In particular, referring to the possibility of the Democratic supporters' adverse selection against Rep. Hong, he added, "I don't think the current level (change in support) itself is very serious."
