[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Dong-joo] Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential primary candidate, announced his youth policy pledges on the 21st at the People Power Party Central Party Office in Yeouido, Seoul.


Before announcing his pledges, Yoon said regarding his remarks 'defending Jeon Du-hwan,' "I humbly accept the many criticisms and points that my explanation and analogy were inappropriate, and I express my regret."


On the 19th, at the People Power Party's Busan Haeundae Gap Party Member Council, Yoon said, "Although former President Jeon Du-hwan made mistakes, many say that except for the military coup and the May 18 incident, his politics were good," adding, "There are quite a few people in Honam who say so," which sparked fierce criticism and demands for an apology both inside and outside the party.
