People's Power Presidential Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol said today (17th) regarding the report of his wife Kim Gun-hee's '7-hour call', "In any case, I am sorry for causing concern to many people."



After attending the opening ceremony of the Buddhist Leaders' Forum held at a hotel in Jung-gu, Seoul on the same day, Candidate Yoon met with reporters and said, "I was busy doing other work at that time, so I couldn't watch the broadcast."



Candidate Yoon said, "There are some things that are inappropriate in the process of revealing private conversations on the air, but there are aspects that I do not understand well as to why I have been having private conversations for so long."



She continued, "As my husband, I should have taken better care of myself, but I didn't have time to talk with my wife because I went out early in the morning and came in late at night," she said.



Regarding the controversy over Mr. Kim's involvement in the election, Candidate Yoon drew a line saying, "If my wife was involved a lot in the election campaign, would it be possible to have such a call for a long time?"



She added, "If you look at it like that, during the election process, I also leave early in the morning and come in late at night. .



As for whether Mr. Kim intervened in the election, he said, "I also tried politics for the first time, so I don't know people in the political arena very well.I have never even heard of such a story.”



Regarding Kim's mention of 'My husband and I are on the side of Ahn Hee-jung, the former governor of Chungnam,' he said, "I have nothing to say."
