[Asia Economy Reporter Bae Kyunghwan] The camp of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol has announced that it will not respond to the so-called 'X-file,' which is said to summarize allegations related to former Prosecutor General Yoon.

Lee Sang-rok, spokesperson for former Prosecutor General Yoon, told a media outlet on the same day, "We have decided not to respond to this matter as we do not even know if the X-file actually exists."

In particular, Lee responded to the possibility that former spokesperson Lee Dong-hoon’s resignation just ten days after appointment and the emergence of the 'X-file' allegations might delay former Prosecutor General Yoon’s declaration of his presidential bid by saying, "That will not happen." He added, "The timing of the presidential bid declaration is being coordinated for the originally planned period of late June to early July and will not deviate significantly from that."

Meanwhile, former Prosecutor General Yoon’s camp plans to set up a campaign office in a building in Gwanghwamun. It is known that they will move in and prepare for the presidential election as soon as the ongoing interior construction is completed.
