[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Lee Jun-seok, the Supreme Council Member of the United Future Party, on the 19th refuted allegations of early voting fraud centered around some YouTubers and losing candidates, and proposed a public debate.

In a post on his Facebook on the same day, Lee said, "If those who raised suspicions about early voting still have substantive doubts, I will hold a live public debate on YouTube or other platforms within a few days."

He continued, "This is a great opportunity to crush Lee Jun-seok. I hope the YouTubers who raised the suspicions will participate," adding, "I will sequentially call out names, so I expect everyone to express their willingness to participate before being called. If you just criticize Lee Jun-seok on your own channels without joining the big stage, you are petty."

He also posted again on Facebook, saying, "Some people say they cannot speak frankly because they are afraid their personal information will be exposed, which I don't understand, but participating with a mask is also possible," and "I will accept all kinds of excuses or circumstances. The stage is getting bigger, but I don't understand why patriotic conservative YouTubers ignore the opportunity to send away the fraudulent impeachment faction Lee Jun-seok."

Earlier, the conservative-leaning YouTube channel 'Garosero Research Institute' raised suspicions of vote counting fraud, claiming that in some constituencies where the early voting count changed the main vote results, the ratio of out-of-district to in-district early votes for each party's candidate was the same.

Regarding these manipulation theories, Lee wrote on Facebook on the 17th, "At a time when we should reflect and resolve to innovate, we should not entertain early voting suspicion theories," adding, "I am a candidate who won on the main voting day but lost in early voting and was defeated."
