[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] The camp of former Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon announced on the 12th that they plan to file a complaint against 'Experts' Shinui Hansu' for violating the Public Official Election Act, stating that "recent illegal opinion polls undermining fair elections have been conducted mainly through YouTube broadcasts."


Lee's election office explained on the same day, "Our camp intends to strongly suppress illegal acts aimed at influencing the election by delivering distorted facts to voters and plans to report this to the prosecution. We decided to file the complaint with the intention of focusing on a gentlemanly policy competition for the development of Jongno."


They added, "Fake news such as the fake guestbook of former Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minh is also resurging ahead of the election. We will continue to respond strictly and without tolerance to any acts that undermine fair elections, including fake news."


The complaint concerns acts such as conducting opinion polls without complying with the procedures required by the Public Official Election Act when conducting election opinion polls, and publishing or reporting results conducted by organizations or groups that are not authorized election polling agencies.



They also cited the video titled 'Shinui Hansu's Hwang Kyo-ahn Trampled Lee Nak-yeon!!!' as an example.
