[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 30th, Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, stated, "The beneficiaries of this malicious law are the ruling party, which enjoys 99% of the power, trying to hide their own flaws," and pointed out, "The reality of forcibly pushing through such a media malicious law is a textbook case of conflict of interest."

During the People Power Party's Supreme Council meeting held that day, Lee said in his opening remarks, "Stop it immediately."

Lee said, "The Democratic Party of Korea is exaggerating some problems of the media to muzzle the press," adding, "Reporters are expected to be perfect, media companies should not publish articles unless they are certain, and a situation is being created where more bold and active reporting to expose social injustices is discouraged."

He continued, "Meanwhile, they actually favor problematic private intelligence reports or YouTube broadcasts," and claimed, "The top leadership of a political party openly uses 'X-files' in the form of private intelligence reports against prominent opposition presidential candidates as a means of attack."

He also asked, "Who are the beneficiaries of this malicious law?" and said, "Isn't it a group that should be checked and monitored?"
