[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] It has been revealed that Kim Geon-hee, the spouse of Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, said about former People Power Party General Election Committee Chairman Kim Jong-in, "That gentleman kept wanting to come (to the election committee)."

On the 16th, MBC's current affairs program 'Exploratory Planning Straight' reported that Kim made this remark during a phone call with Lee Myung-soo, a reporter from the YouTube channel 'Seoul's Voice,' on December 3rd of last year.

On the afternoon of the 16th, the MBC program "Straight," which covers the "7-hour phone call" content of Kim Geon-hee, spouse of Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, is being broadcast on the electronic billboard at the MBC building in Sangam-dong, Seoul.

Kim said, "He (former Chairman Kim) was trying to do that, why wouldn't he want to come (to the election committee)?" and added, "This place is his, he comes to a feast where there is food to eat."

The phone call between the two took place on December 3rd last year, the same day when candidate Yoon and People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok resolved the so-called 'Yoon Core Group (key figures around candidate Yoon)' conflict and dramatically reconciled through the 'Ulsan meeting.' On that day, former Chairman Kim Jong-in accepted the position of General Election Committee Chairman.

Meanwhile, on the 14th, the court partially granted an injunction requested by Kim's side against MBC to prohibit the broadcast.
