[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Future United Party criticized the Democratic Party of Korea for bringing up a marriage concept for joint promotion with its satellite proportional party, the Together Citizens Party, saying it is "drawing ridicule."

Jung Won-seok, the full-time spokesperson for the Future United Party's election committee, pointed out in a statement on the 7th, "The Democratic Party of Korea has abandoned even the minimum conscience and decency due to obsession with winning the election."

Spokesperson Jung criticized, "The Democratic Party of Korea brought up a marriage concept for joint promotion with the Together Citizens Party, which has even drawn ridicule," adding, "There are sarcastic remarks such as 'Are siblings marrying each other?' and 'Is the father officiating the wedding?' after talking about legitimate and illegitimate children."

He continued, "They used a photo of Jung Eun-kyung, the head of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency's Central Disease Control Headquarters, who has nothing to do with them, in their election promotional materials," and pointed out, "It is a despicable trick to gain public favor by exploiting the face of Director Jung, who has devoted herself as the command center of quarantine from the early days of the Wuhan COVID-19 outbreak until now."

Spokesperson Jung said, "It has been less than a week since they were requested to correct their violation of the Public Official Election Act by cleverly arranging the party symbols on twin buses, yet the Democratic Party of Korea shamelessly insists on pushing forward with 'illegal elections,'" and questioned, "Is this a tantrum because the government and the election commission are on their side?"
