[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Min Kyung-wook, a member of the Future United Party who has raised suspicions of early voting manipulation in the April 15 general election, on the 11th revealed early voting ballots, calling them "evidence supporting the claim that this general election was fraudulent." In response, former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon pointed out, "This is a matter of telling the National Election Commission to manage the ballots properly and then ending it."


On the same day, Min attended the "April 15 General Election Suspicion Truth Investigation and Restoration of National Sovereignty Rally" held in the main conference room of the National Assembly Members' Office Building, stating, "A large number of proportional representation ballots without the election manager's seal and unmarked were found," and claimed, "There is a possibility of mass mixed ballots in this general election. An investigation into this must be conducted."


He emphasized, "Early voting ballots are printed each time a voter arrives, so there are no extra ballots," adding, "The fact that I secured these ballots itself is evidence of 'manipulation.'"


Min also held shredded paper contained in a plastic bag, saying, "These are early voting ballots shredded along with envelopes, found in front of a post office in Gyeonggi-do," and stated, "Someone shredded ballots that had been voted on." However, it has not been confirmed whether the paper Min revealed was actual ballots.


Earlier, on the 8th, Min raised suspicions of election manipulation by citing several cases. In particular, he said on his Facebook, "On Monday (the 11th) at 2 p.m. in the National Assembly debate hall, I will expose evidence that will turn the world upside down," and added, "The manipulated election case will reach a turning point."


Also present at the event was Gong Byung-ho, former Future Korea Party nomination committee chairman, who also supported the manipulation theory. He said, "It has already been verified that the election was manipulated," and added, "Now it is time to find out who manipulated it, by what method, and for what purpose."


He continued, "If a recount is conducted, the outcome will change in many regions," and said, "(The United Party) will regain 35 to 39 seats."

Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon criticized Min's claims, saying, "They are making a huge fuss but have not produced a single shred of evidence," and added, "At most, this is just a matter of telling the National Election Commission to manage the ballots properly and then ending it."


On the same day, he wrote on his Facebook, "You must first accept the fact of defeat to analyze the cause of failure," and sarcastically remarked, "But since they deny reality itself, they can only walk the path of eternal losers. Don't they say they 'won' the election?"


He further stated, "Regardless of the vote count, the exit polls broadcast an hour before the counting ended already indicated an overwhelming victory for the ruling party," and questioned, "The vote count results were not much different. Are they going to claim the exit polls were manipulated too?"


Jin also posted again to criticize Min, saying, "If you suffered a crushing defeat, there wouldn't even be enough time to reflect, find causes, and prepare countermeasures, yet in the meantime, they have too much energy left and are doing the 'Min Kyung-wook! President!' comedy," and added, "There is no hope in that place. If they fail so badly and still can't come to their senses, there is no solution."



Meanwhile, suspicions of early voting manipulation were raised mainly by some far-right YouTube channels immediately after the United Party's crushing defeat in this general election. Figures such as Min Kyung-wook and Cha Myung-jin, who ran for Bucheon Byeong in Gyeonggi-do and lost, also supported these suspicions.
