[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] The campaign headquarters of Minsheng Party candidate Yoon Young-il (Haenam·Wando·Jindo) announced on the 7th through a press release that it has been confirmed that Yoon, a close aide of Democratic Party candidate Yoon Jae-gap, was reported to the prosecution on charges of spreading false information via Facebook and other platforms.

The campaign headquarters of candidate Yoon Young-il strongly criticized, “Yoon Jae-gap, who has undermined the purpose of a fair and righteous election, has no qualification as a candidate of the ruling party. He should withdraw his candidacy.”

The campaign headquarters emphasized, “If Yoon Jae-gap remains silent despite knowing that his close aide was reported to the prosecution for spreading false information, Yoon Jae-gap himself is also an accomplice,” and asserted, “Yoon Jae-gap must atone to Yoon Young-il and the residents of Haenam, Wando, and Jindo.”

Yoon, known as the younger brother of candidate Yoon Jae-gap, maliciously and intentionally distorted the fact that candidate Yoon Young-il received 29 awards including the ‘Excellent Member of the National Assembly Legislative Award’ on his SNS, saying, “A lawmaker who receives awards from ghost organizations by paying 2 to 3 million won per award and promotes himself as a 30-time or 29-time award winner,” and used edited broadcast reports for election campaigning.

However, the institutions that awarded candidate Yoon Young-il the Excellent Member of the National Assembly Award and others are credible organizations such as the National Assembly Secretariat, the Korean Public Policy Association, and major central media outlets, and the claims by a member of Yoon Jae-gap’s campaign are completely untrue.

The campaign headquarters of candidate Yoon Young-il stated, “We cannot entrust the future of Haenam, Wando, and Jindo to candidate Yoon Jae-gap, who only shouts for the party’s banner and winning, rather than the candidate’s personal vision and policy capabilities,” and emphasized, “Only candidate Yoon Young-il, who has proven ability and morality, is the sole candidate who can take responsibility for the future of Haenam, Wando, and Jindo.”
