[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] The leadership of the Democratic Party of Korea launched a barrage of criticism at former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol.

On the 30th, Yoon Ho-jung, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, said at the Supreme Council meeting, "Yoo Seung-min, who expressed concerns about election interference regarding the restoration of inter-Korean communication lines, and candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, who is raising his voice with drunken behavior in front of the people suffering from the heatwave and COVID-19, drinking gukbap with soju during the day and chicken with beer at night, and even candidate Hwang Kyo-ahn, who proposed a special prosecutor at the primary candidates' meeting claiming there is evidence of election fraud. They are dragging the entire People Power Party into the quagmire of refusing to accept the presidential election results."

Furthermore, Representative Kim Yong-min said, "Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who has taken off his mask as a 'political prosecutor' and jumped into politics, is causing public disapproval day after day," adding, "He promoted daytime drinking during the COVID-19 prevention situation and was seen eating food on the streets. He flaunted the arrogance of the privileged class without any regard for the people suffering from COVID-19 prevention measures."

Additionally, Representative Kim Young-bae criticized, "A video of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol visiting the Busan Democratic Park and asking if the June Democracy Movement monument for Lee Han-yeol was related to the Bu-Ma Democratic Uprising is becoming a hot topic on online communities," and said, "Candidate Yoon, instead of just imitating Park Chung-hee and drinking during the day, I hope you study this land and country properly."
