[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Future United Party's member group announced that they will file a complaint with the prosecution and the election commission against Go Min-jeong, the Democratic Party preliminary candidate running in Gwangjin-eul, for falsifying academic credentials. The Seoul National University Student Progressive Union (Daejin-yeon), which is conducting illegal defeat campaigns against Future United Party candidates, has also been reported to the prosecution.

Kim Young-guk, the representative of the Future United Party member group, stated on the 24th that they submitted two complaints to the Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office and one to the election commission.

Kim pointed out that after Go received a strategic nomination for the district, she falsely listed her academic background on her Facebook. She initially posted "Kyung Hee University Seoul graduate," but when this became an issue, she quietly changed it to "Kyung Hee University Yongin graduate." She also deleted the Graduate School of Sungkonghoe University from her academic credentials section.

Kim said, "Our election law strictly punishes acts of publicizing false information about academic background, property, occupation, etc., to mislead voters," adding, "This is a clear violation of Article 250 of the Public Official Election Act regarding falsification of academic credentials."

He also stated, "Daejin-yeon’s continuous illegal defeat campaigns against Future United Party candidates have been reported to the prosecution on charges including Article 255 (Illegal Election Campaigning), Article 237 (Interference with Election Freedom), and Article 254 (Violation of Election Campaign Period) of the Public Official Election Act," adding, "our party’s candidates requested on-site police officers to exercise police authority against Daejin-yeon’s illegal election interference, but the police remained passive. Only after a flood of media reports did they belatedly begin investigations," he criticized.
