[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] On the 24th, the Democratic Party of Korea criticized Oh Se-hoon, the Seoul mayoral candidate from the People Power Party, saying he "attended the Taegeukgi rallies led by Jeon Gwang-hoon" and called him an "extreme right-wing politician." In response, Lee Jun-seok, former Supreme Council member of the United Future Party (now People Power Party), revealed a video showing that Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party's Seoul mayoral candidate, also attended an event hosted by Pastor Jeon Gwang-hoon of Sarang Jeil Church in the past.

In a post on his Facebook on the same day, former Supreme Council member Lee sarcastically wrote, "If attending an event with Pastor Jeon means you are labeled as extreme right-wing, then Candidate Park should be considered extreme right-wing as well."

Along with this, he uploaded a screenshot of a video showing Candidate Park attending the "National Prayer Meeting Inviting Leaders of the Three Parties to Restore the Nation and the Church," held in 2016 at the National Assembly Members' Office Building. This event was organized by the "National Movement Headquarters to Restore the Republic of Korea," led by Pastor Jeon.

The video shows Candidate Park standing at the podium saying, "In the name of God, I strongly declare once again that we can never accept the Homosexuality Act, the Anti-Discrimination Act, human rights-related laws, and the Islam issue," adding, "The Homosexuality Act goes against nature and God's providence." At that time, Pastor Jeon praised her by saying, "Let's make Representative Park Young-sun the leader of the opposition party."

Regarding this, former Supreme Council member Lee wrote, "They want to make Candidate Park the party leader? Let's have a showdown between extreme right-wing candidates."

Earlier, the Democratic Party leadership criticized Candidate Oh as "an extreme right-wing politician who has gone beyond being an MB (former President Lee Myung-bak) avatar."

Kim Tae-nyeon, the Democratic Party floor leader, pointed out at the Central Election Countermeasures Committee meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, "Although Candidate Oh is known to have a moderate image, watching his speech at the Taegeukgi unit rally in October 2019 shows he is an extreme right-wing politician."

He claimed, "Candidate Oh attended the Taegeukgi unit rally led by Pastor Jeon and made outrageous, mad remarks against President Moon Jae-in, calling him a dictator, a severe dementia patient, and a crazy president, which are hard to put into words," adding, "The image of a rational conservative is just a disguise to deceive the public."
