[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] On the 14th, the People Power Party released a video parodying the Netflix original drama 'Squid Game.' This video is a promotional material produced by the party's Digital Party Committee ahead of the presidential election.


In the video released that day, Lee Young, the chairman of the party's Digital Party Committee, tells Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, "The future of the country is dark. The public sentiment in the Republic of Korea is becoming increasingly unstable. A decision is needed."


In response, Lee Jun-seok says, "Don't we have a silk pouch? Find digital experts," and hands a business card with 'ㄷㅈㅇ' written on it to Lee Young. 'ㄷㅈㅇ' appears to be the initials of 'Dijeongwi,' an abbreviation for the Digital Party Committee.

Afterwards, Lee Young, like actor Gong Yoo in 'Squid Game,' plays the ddakji game with citizens at a subway station and hands the 'ㄷㅈㅇ' business cards to the citizens who win.


Then, cybersecurity experts, new media experts, and digital service planning experts express their willingness to participate in the game, saying, "We want to save the country," and "We want to fix the collapsing economy." They shout the code phrase "Regime change" and get on a van.


Upon arriving at the National Assembly building in Yeouido, they look around and ask, "How can we turn the presidential election around?" Lee Jun-seok, wearing a 'Frontman' mask, appears and says, "I will explain."


Then, the subtitle "The strongest digital experts for a digital presidential election have gathered" appears, and the video ends. More details can be found on the People Power Party's official YouTube channel, 'Oreun Sori.'

Meanwhile, on the same day, Lee Jun-seok held a press conference at the National Assembly Members' Office Building to unveil and demonstrate the 'Kraken' program. 'Kraken' is a giant octopus monster from mythology and is a program designed to prevent the recurrence of the 'Druking incident,' which involved manipulating online public opinion through comments using the King Crab program during the 2017 presidential election.



At the press conference, Lee said, "We intend to operate the Kraken system as an early warning system," and added, "The Democratic Party of Korea must also give up investing in any clumsy public opinion manipulation or distortion of public sentiment in this presidential election."
