Former and Current City and District Council Members of United Future Party File Complaint Against Democratic Party Candidate Choi Jae-sung with Election Commission

Claim of "False Information Disclosure"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] Former and current city and district council members of Songpa-gu E of the United Future Party have reported Choi Jae-sung, the Democratic Party of Korea candidate for Songpa E, to the Election Commission for false statements under the Public Official Election Act.

On the 31st, nine former and current city and district council members of Songpa E, including Councilor Lee Hye-sook (Vice Chairperson of Songpa District Council), filed a complaint with the Election Commission, claiming that there were false statements in Choi’s preliminary election promotional materials.

They took issue with the promotional materials listing ▲ exemption from comprehensive real estate tax for one household one house and abolition of the 900 million KRW cap on housing pension subscription ▲ relocation of Helio City Silver Care Center ▲ new entrance at Jangji Station (towards Park Habio) ▲ Wirye-Sinsa Line at Jamsil Samjeon Station ▲ new transfer station on the Wirye-Gwacheon Line at Munjeong District. The materials included phrases such as "Songpa accomplished what was said to be impossible" and "Choi Jae-sung started it" alongside these items.

They stated, "It was falsely presented as if these were completed achievements. Although it is claimed as completed, there is no fact of completion, and most of the projects have not yet started."

They also said, "Regarding the Tancheon-dong underground road and park project promoted since 2005, he falsely claimed in an interview that he was the 'first to propose' it," adding, "This project involved numerous efforts by former and current Songpa council members and heads of organizations who accepted residents’ demands to fully underground the four-lane road and develop a park above."

Vice Chairperson Lee said, "He is claiming intellectual property rights over projects that have been promoted for over 10 years overnight," and added, "No matter how much one wants to win an election, this has gone beyond the bounds of decency."
