Seol Hoon, "'Gyeonseonbulbok' False Frame Imposed... Warning to Kim Du-gwan"

"An Unwashable Insult... A Clear Threat to the Lee Nak-yeon Camp"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] On the 10th, Seol Hoon, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, directed at presidential candidate Kim Du-kwan, "I hope you stop the act of deceiving party members and the public by imposing a false frame of 'refusing to accept the primary results' and slandering fellow lawmakers." Seol is serving as the head of the countermeasures committee in former leader Lee Nak-yeon's election camp.

On the same day, Seol posted on Facebook a message titled 'A stern warning to Kim Du-kwan, who slandered a fellow lawmaker with speculation and exaggeration,' expressing these views.

Seol explained the interview content by saying, "On the 7th, during an interview with Sisa Journal, I was asked, 'Are Democratic Party voters worried about forming a one team in the general election?' I said that although there were clashes during past primaries, we ultimately became one team. However, this time it might be a little different; I said it felt precarious whether supporters could accept the various controversies surrounding candidate Lee Jae-myung with their hearts."

He added, "This was an expression of concern related to the July 29th public opinion poll, which showed that 31% of Lee Nak-yeon supporters would vote for Yoon Seok-youl if Lee Jae-myung became the presidential candidate."

Seol continued, "As a member of the Democratic Party, I have strongly insisted that we must lead the way in healing conflicts after the primary and become one team to win the presidential election. However, Kim Du-kwan fabricated and exaggerated the baseless speculation of 'refusing to accept the primary results,' which I neither said nor intended, and claimed that 'Lee Nak-yeon’s camp will not escape criticism for focusing on increasing the number of lawmakers and negative campaigning during the primary.'"

Seol criticized Kim by saying, "This is an indelible insult to me and a clear threat to Lee Nak-yeon’s camp." He added, "I hope you stop the act of deceiving party members and the public by imposing a false frame of 'refusing to accept the primary results' and slandering fellow lawmakers. This is a stern warning."
