with another People's Power politician who visited its home.

The president's office explained that President Yoon met the two politicians at his home at the time because they demanded security, and that Myung did not come to his home because he was a separate acquaintance with the president.

Since then, President Yoon has stressed that he has no recollection of exchanging texts or talking to Myung after advising the politician of the People's Power who saw him at the campaign trail to distance himself at the end of the primary.

He explained that he was listening to presidential election advice from people with a lot of political experience at the time, and there was no reason to listen to advice from people who did not know what they were doing.

A high-ranking official in the presidential office also said that it was in the early days of the last presidential election that he met Myung for the first time, and that Lee Joon-seok, the former representative of People's Power, brought him to his home.

The official also said that he heard former lawmaker Kim Young-sun's request to intervene to make the single candidacy was rejected when Myung claimed to have spoken to Kim during the general election in April.Mr.
