[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Na Kyung-won, the candidate of the United Future Party, announced on the 8th that she will file a complaint against Lee Su-jin, the candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, who is competing in Dongjak-eul, Seoul, for violation of the false statement offense.

Na's camp stated in a press release on the same day, "We have decided to take this legal action because we judged that Lee's repeated claims, which are clearly false as a public election candidate, disturb the election and significantly impair voters' proper judgment, thus posing a serious legal violation."

Na's camp pointed out that Lee ▲was listed on the blacklist during the term of former Chief Justice Yang Seung-tae and claimed to have suffered damage because of it ▲claimed to have received personnel disadvantages by being transferred to Daejeon District Court without completing the full three-year term as a Supreme Court judicial researcher ▲claimed to have played a decisive role in the separation of juvenile courts in Busan and Ulsan, and argued that these claims have legal issues.

Na said, "This was a difficult decision made after long anguish and consideration," and emphasized, "For the future of the Republic of Korea and the development of Dongjak, we can no longer overlook the opposing candidate disrupting the election by deceiving the public. It is only proper that Lee withdraws even now."

Regarding this, Lee said on her Facebook, "The opposing candidate has filed a complaint against me. You must be busy with election campaigning, but thank you for your hard work preparing the complaint," and added, "The residents of Dongjak-gu know the truth. I already feel like I have received the certificate of election as a member of the National Assembly."
