[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Kim Boo-kyum, the head of the Democratic Party's Daegu·Gyeongbuk Election Countermeasures Committee, said on the 25th, "Someone threw eggs at my election office. They also posted writings criticizing our party and the president," adding, "If you want to throw eggs, throw them at me."

Kim said in a post on his Facebook that "the incident happened around 9:30 PM last night (24th)" and "this is the fourth election held in Daegu, but this is the first time such a thing has happened."

In the photo Kim shared along with his post, broken eggshells and writings containing phrases such as "Moon Jae-in Pneumonia," "Daegu Devastation," "Democratic Party OUT," and "Let's imprison Moon Jae-in, the new deep-rooted corruption and state manipulation" are posted in front of the election office entrance.

He expressed anger, saying, "Throwing eggs late at night while people are working is violence. Violence is the enemy of democracy," and "Citizens have been living in fear and tension for more than two months due to COVID-19, so what do you expect to achieve by committing violence in Daegu?"

He continued, "I saw a photo of our youngest secretary picking up broken eggshells last night. The youngest secretary reportedly said, 'Now I understand why they threw eggs. The smell is unbearable.' It made me laugh even though I was bleeding inside," adding, "This camp has the guts to endure this much, even the youngest."

He said, "There is CCTV, so I reported it to the police for now. However, I will not make a big issue out of it," explaining, "Because I should not get excited and cause concern to the citizens of Daegu."

Finally, he said, "I will grit my teeth and fight," and "I will shout for politics of unity until the end, against the politics of hatred that denies the existence of the opponent."
