[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Preparatory Committee for the Establishment of the Proportional Liberty Korea Party (tentative name), a satellite party of the Liberty Korea Party, clarified on the 10th through a press release that "the office and address are different from those of the Liberty Korea Party."


The preparatory committee stated, "The party establishment report is based on the location, not the address, and this is the same for other parties' reporting locations. The Proportional Liberty Korea Party had to rent a place somewhere, and after considering various conditions, it signed a lease contract for an office within the Liberty Korea Party headquarters."


They added, "While the location may be the same, the detailed addresses are different, and we are clearly using separate office spaces," explaining that the addresses differ. This appears to be a response to some media reports claiming that the addresses of the Proportional Liberty Korea Party and the Liberty Korea Party are the same.


The preparatory committee explained, "The composition of the promoters also involved voluntary participation by the Liberty Korea Party secretariat staff as a compliance struggle against the rushed and forced election law," and "The establishment preparation costs are covered by the promoters' membership fees, and the payment guidance text messages are for informational purposes only, as is common with other organizations, with no coercion whatsoever."


Regarding the criticism that calls to the Proportional Liberty Korea Party are answered by the Liberty Korea Party, they stated, "The representative number of the Proportional Liberty Korea Party disclosed to the National Election Commission is 02-6288-0300, and the Liberty Korea Party's representative number is 02-6288-0200," adding, "There are cases where some confused media and citizens call the Liberty Korea Party and ask for the Proportional Liberty Korea Party."


In response to the criticism that entry to the Proportional Liberty Korea Party office is not allowed, they said, "The building housing the Proportional Liberty Korea Party office also accommodates other organizations such as the Liberty Korea Party and Kia Motors," and "The party establishment preparations are mainly conducted outside the office, and since most promoters are office workers, the office is often empty."



They added, "Going forward, the preparatory committee will proceed with the party establishment according to legal procedures, and will respond sincerely to misunderstandings and strictly to excessive distortions."
