Neglect After Malicious Comments Following Japan's Quarantine Supplies Support and the Late Athlete Choi Sook-hyun Incident

Why Gyeongju Mayor Jun Nak-yeong's 'Facebook' Turned into a 'Chat Meeting' Billboard View original image

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] The representative SNS (social network service) of Mayor Jun Nak-young of Gyeongju City, 'Facebook,' is almost left unattended, flooded with comments inviting 'chat meetings,' causing frowns among visitors to the page.


On the morning of the 7th, numerous comments enticing 'conditional meetings' were posted under various female names on Mayor Jun's Facebook. The mayor's Facebook posts have not been updated since his weekend greeting on June 29.


At the end of May, when the mayor faced public backlash over the support of Japanese quarantine supplies and the July incident involving the late athlete Choi Sook-hyun, malicious comments piled up on Facebook, leading him to temporarily close the account.



In this regard, a Gyeongju City Hall secretariat official stated, "The mayor manages his Facebook directly. Sometimes, when too many negative comments are posted, he communicates only with IDs that have established a 'friend' relationship."
