[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Officials from the Seoul National University Student Progressive Union (Seoul Daejinyeon), who held a picket protest at the campaign site of Oh Se-hoon, the United Future Party candidate running in Seoul Gwangjin-eul in the April 15 general election, appeared before the police.

On the 28th, the Gwangjin Police Station in Seoul announced that six officials from Seoul Daejinyeon voluntarily appeared and were questioned the previous day. It is known that there are a total of 19 people subject to investigation, and they are scheduled to appear between the 27th and 29th.

Seoul Daejinyeon held protests at campaign sites such as in front of Oh’s campaign office and subway stations from the 12th to the 20th, holding pickets with messages like "Politicians cannot make donations," regarding Oh’s giving 50,000 to 100,000 won each to five people including the security guard and cleaner of the apartment where he resides, totaling 1.2 million won, during last year’s and this year’s Lunar New Year and Chuseok holidays.

On the 19th, after reviewing the law, the police judged that there was a possibility of violating election laws and decided to launch an investigation.

Meanwhile, the police are also conducting investigations targeting Seoul Daejinyeon officials who held protests at campaign sites of other United Future Party candidates such as Na Kyung-won (Dongjak-eul) and Hwang Kyo-ahn (Jongno).
