In response to the Democratic Party floor leader's remarks, the presidential office said that Yoon Suk Yeol at the time had never received a report on the nomination from the nomination management committee, nor had he ordered the nomination.

The presidential office issued a notification to the spokesperson's office and said that the nomination decision makers at the time were party leader Lee Joon-seok and Yoon Sang-hyun, chairman of the nomination management committee.

He also said that the phone call between Yoon and Myung Tae-kyun at the time was not particularly important, and that he was just saying good things because Myung kept talking about nominating Kim Young-sun.

At that time, the party decided to strategically nominate all regions except Jeju Island, and in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, Kim Young-sun was the most competitive candidate, explaining that Kim was elected by an overwhelming margin of votes.

The president's office recently explained on Facebook that Lee Joon-seok, then leader of the party, had no problem with the decision on the strategic nomination at the top, and attached the relevant information.

In this regard, former representative Lee Joon-seok wrote in a post on the 22nd that strategic nominations were originally made by the Public Official Committee or the highest committee, and current lawmaker Kim Jong-yang, who competed with candidate Kim Young-sun at the time, testified that there was no problem with the nomination process.
