[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party has filed lawsuits against YouTubers who spread false information linking Shincheonji and the United Future Party.

The United Future Party's Special Media Committee announced on the 9th that on the 6th, they filed lawsuits against three operators of 'Nodani's Thoughts TV', 'Voice of Seoul', and 'KSTV' for cyber defamation under Article 70 of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, and for obstruction of business under Article 314 of the Criminal Act.

The United Future Party stated, "These individuals arbitrarily interpreted the party's logo and spread false information that Shincheonji and the United Future Party are colluding," adding, "Claims such as the party's logo color being the same as materials distributed by Shincheonji, the Shincheonji building resembling the party's logo, and the Cheonji Ilbo logo being similar to the logo of the party's predecessor, the Grand National Party, are baseless and constitute a forced conspiracy theory linking the United Future Party and Shincheonji."

The United Future Party further stated, "Shincheonji is the group primarily responsible for the spread of the Wuhan COVID-19, and it has evaded responsibility for the Wuhan COVID-19 situation while showing an uncooperative attitude toward the government, provoking public outrage," adding, "Attempts to associate a cult religious group with a specific political party to damage its image are outdated political tactics, and we will firmly reject such old-fashioned politics."
