[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] North Korean propaganda media claimed, citing internet media, that 'Hwacheon Daeyu,' which is under suspicion of preferential treatment in the Daejang-dong development project, "belongs to the People Power Party."

On the 6th, 'Uri Minjok Kkiri TV,' a North Korean propaganda outlet targeting South Korea, reported in a video titled "The Public Sentiment of Netizens Says Hwacheon Daeyu Belongs to the People Power Party," that "on South Korean internet media, posts mocking the People Power Party with the phrase 'Hwacheon Daeyu belongs to the People Power Party' are gaining popularity."

The media stated, "The People Power Party widely displayed banners saying 'Who does Hwacheon Daeyu belong to?' around last Chuseok," adding, "This appears to be an attempt to cover up the allegations of prosecution request manipulation involving Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, and to attack the ruling party's candidate."

It continued, "Conservative media and internet outlets joined forces to focus on reporting the 'Daejang-dong scandal' to support the People Power Party," but "as People Power Party figures became known to be connected to Hwacheon Daeyu, the party is facing a backlash."

The media mentioned netizens' reactions to former People Power Party lawmaker Kwak Sang-do's son receiving a severance pay of 5 billion won from Hwacheon Daeyu, quoting comments such as "The public's anger is sky-high" and "I want to spike the People Power Party's face with a strong spike."

It also reported that phrases like "5 billion, the power of dad," "Sang-do, let's go to school," and "The 5 billion game" are circulating, stating, "Because of Hwacheon Daeyu, the People Power Party is becoming a subject of ridicule."

Meanwhile, the media criticized Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, saying, "He is suffering backlash for disparaging dementia patients while trying to explain his remarks about subscription savings accounts," and added, "Yoon Seok-yeol's frequent verbal slips are becoming a source of mockery on the internet."
