[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Heo Kyung-young, leader of the National Revolutionary Party and a candidate in the 20th presidential election, announced that he will create "Heutopia," a world where there is no injustice caused by money.


On the 14th, Heo posted on his Facebook, saying, "You will soon live in Heutopia (Heo Kyung-young + Utopia)."


The photo he posted included the message: "Heutopia. National dividend of 1.5 million KRW per month. Marriage allowance of 100 million KRW. Childbirth allowance of 50 million KRW. A world without injustice caused by money."


Heo stated, "Once you realize that both ruling and opposition parties are in cahoots and recognize Heo Kyung-young, it's over," adding, "Funding plans? There is enough. Heo Kyung-young has all the plans."

Meanwhile, various online communities were flooded with posts certifying that they received calls encouraging voting from Heo Kyung-young last weekend. According to netizens, Heo called citizens and delivered the message: "Hello. This is presidential candidate Heo Kyung-young. How hard has it been due to COVID-19? The first step to change the future of the Republic of Korea is courageous voting. This was presidential candidate Heo Kyung-young. Thank you."


As the number of call certification posts increased, Heo responded by sharing related articles on his Facebook, saying, "You received a call from Heo Kyung-young, right? Voting rights are a precious right of the people."



Some raised concerns that the voting encouragement calls might be illegal. However, the National Election Commission stated in an interview with a media outlet that "If the content is encouraging voting rather than supporting a specific candidate or party, anyone can make such calls."
