Regarding Lee’s call for a change of politics, instead of a power transfer, Yoon compared politicians to a servant and the public as the owner, and added Lee was mocking the public.

[Soundbite] Yoon Suk-yeol(PPP Pres. Candidate) : "DP, riddled with corruption, is diverting attention through the slogan competent economic president, but it's not the president who revives the economy."

Yoon also argued that the Democratic Party took hold of vested interests and privileges by weaponizing its past record in anti-government student movements.

[Soundbite] Yoon Suk-yeol(PPP Pres. Candidate) : "A bad servant should be replaced. During the Joseon dynasty era, they would have been flogged as well."

At every campaign event, Yoon denounced the current administration’s real estate policies as a mere spectacle to create a favorable political environment, and appealed to voters in the capital region who were most sensitive to rising home prices. People’s Party chairman Ahn Cheol-soo who merged his candidacy with Yoon also showed up on the campaign trail for the second time and called for a power transfer, saying that a government that brought about a crisis cannot be the one to prevail over it.
