The total number of supporters who sent donations to former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who filled the limit on the day of opening the account, was finally counted at 21,000.
In a press release on the 27th, the former president's camp said, "The total number of donors is 21,279, of which 21,147 (94.7%) are small donors of less than 100,000 won."
Former President Yoon filled the limit of 2.565.45 million won just yesterday when he opened the donation account.
It is the record for the most fundraising in the shortest period of all the opposition parties.
Hwang Jun-guk, former ambassador to the UK, who served as the sponsor, said, "Small donations were deposited in seconds from all over the country, and inquiries for donations have continued since then.
A camp official said, "In the United States, donation fundraising is evaluated as a more important measure of public sentiment than polling indicators." "It is an important political significance to set an unprecedented record in a situation where the recent public opinion poll results were inconsistent and stopped due to unknown circumstances." emphasized.
It is an assertion that the real public sentiment was confirmed through 'open support' in a situation where the approval rating of former President Yoon, who had been marching high in various opinion polls, has recently been declining.
Former President Yoon expressed his gratitude once again, saying, "I will make sure to create a fair Republic of Korea where common sense prevails with the people who have given their heart."
