United Future Party: "Justice Party, unprecedented 'proxy online game controversy' in politics... Is the National Assembly a laughingstock?" View original image

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party strongly criticized the controversy over proxy online gaming involving the Justice Party's number one proportional representation candidate, saying it "made the National Assembly a laughingstock."


Lee Junho, youth spokesperson for the United Future Party, pointed out in a statement on the 11th, "Proxy gaming is a clearly unethical act that can harm users who play games normally and may also cause personal information leaks and fraud damage."


Ryu Hojung, the Justice Party's number one proportional representation candidate and special committee member on IT industry labor, is suspected of lending her account to her then-boyfriend Kang Mo to raise her rank in the online game 'League of Legends' and having him play on her behalf. Ryu apologized, saying, "I shared my account with my partner and those around me without any awareness or caution."


Regarding this, the spokesperson said, "Since creating a League of Legends game ID is very simple and easy, there is absolutely no reason to lend an ID to those around you out of goodwill, as Ryu claims," and added, "Even the mother party, the Democratic Party of Korea, is criticizing Ryu, who caused serious social controversy by comparing 'proxy gaming' to 'proxy exams.'"



He called it "an unprecedented proxy online gaming controversy in politics" and questioned, "Can a party that nominates an unjust person as the number one proportional representation candidate be called the Justice Party?"
