People's Strength Presidential Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol posted on his dog's SNS last night.



Along with a photo of giving an Indian apple to a dog, there is a post saying, "I like Indian apples because I resemble my dad."



The post was deleted, but the photo, which was posted on the night that Candidate Yoon bowed his head for apologizing for having caused controversy for his remarks in support of Chun Doo-hwan, fierce criticism poured out from inside and outside the party.



The competitor, Hong Jun-pyo's camp, accused him of mocking both the people and party members, saying that an apology is anything but dog or state, and also criticized the candidate Yoo Seung-min's camp as forcibly apologizing and ridiculing the bizarre candidate who mocked him backwards, not qualifying as president.



Candidate Hee-ryong Won said that he was astonished at the camp of Candidate Yoon, who even made an apology into a caricature.



Representative Lee Jun-seok of People's Power said that it is beyond common sense and posted on social media that it was disastrous, and Democratic Party Chairman Song Young-gil also took an offensive, saying, "You must not do anything that mocks the people."



Democratic presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung, who visited Gwangju, said, "He was a person who only enjoyed the benefits of the democratic system, so he would not have understood the harshness of the name Chun Doo-hwan."



As the controversy continued, the Candidate Camp Yoon Seok-yeol issued a statement saying, "The working-level person thought it lightly and posted the photo, but acknowledged the mistake and took it down immediately."
