On January 5, local time, Yoon Seok-yue, the presidential candidate of South Korea's largest opposition party, the National Power, announced the dissolution of the party's campaign team. Kwon Ning-se, a member of the party's parliament, will serve as Yin Xiyue's election countermeasures minister. Kwon served as South Korea's ambassador to China from 2013 to 2015.

According to Yonhap News Agency reported on January 5, Yoon Seok-yue held a press conference at the party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, on the same day and said that the dissolution of the party's campaign team, the Central Election Countermeasures Committee, will start again with a new look.

Yin Xiyue said that he should have led the campaign team and the National Power Party to reassure the people, but he failed to do so. It's all your responsibility.

He also said on the reform of the Electoral Countermeasure Committee that the National Forces Party has not been able to accurately grasp the people's wishes at present and will recognize and correct its mistakes in the electoral campaign. He will also strive to become the original Yin Xiyue expected by the people, saying what the people want to hear, rather than what they want to say.

Recently, in addition to Yin Xiyue's wife's involvement in the controversy over the falsification of resumes, there are also frequent contradictions within the Kuomintang. Last month, the party's leader, Lee Joon-seok, and Cho So-jin, who is in charge of public affairs at the party, became at odds over the way the controversy was handled, and the two resigned from Yoon Seok-yue's campaign team one after another. The incident also had an impact on Yoon Seok-yue, and some Korean media have analyzed his failure to exert leadership skills, which indirectly led to the expansion of the incident.

Since then, the downward trend in Yoon's approval rating has continued, surpassed by lee Jae-ming, the presidential candidate of the ruling party's Common Democratic Party, in multiple polls. The Korea Times reported that the decline in the support of 20- to 30-year-old voters in particular was particularly pronounced.
