Lee Jun-seok: "Lee Jae-myung called Jin Joong-kwon a 'conservative pundit'... It's a bit funny, please send him my regards"

"The objection is my right, but it's a bit ridiculous to label me as a 'conservative commentator' without any basis"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, recently commented on Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung referring to former Dongyang University professor Jungkwon Chin as a "conservative commentator" in an objection filed with the Central Election Commission's Internet Election Reporting Deliberation Committee. Lee said, "At this point, please send your condolences to Professor Jungkwon Chin, who has now become a 'conservative commentator.'"

On the 16th, Lee posted on his Facebook, saying, "Professor Jungkwon Chin is not criticizing candidate Lee Jae-myung based on conservative ideology but simply criticizing based on sound common sense."

He continued, "I heard that candidate Lee Jae-myung recently filed objections with the Internet Election Reporting Deliberation Committee of the Election Commission against several media companies. In that petition, he expressed strong dissatisfaction with articles quoting 'conservative commentator Jungkwon Chin.'"

He added, "It is understandable that candidate Lee Jae-myung might feel victimized and file objections against Jungkwon Chin, who recently got a smartphone and started using KakaoTalk, wears a leather jacket, and is somewhat of a quirky recluse. However, labeling someone who criticizes him as a 'conservative commentator' without any basis is rather amusing," he mocked.

In response, former Dongyang University professor Jungkwon Chin shared Lee’s post on his Facebook and criticized, "The conservative vested interests in the Democratic Party still seem to mistakenly believe they are 'progressive.' This is called a Meconessance, or 'misidentification.'"

Earlier, the Democratic Party's Election Countermeasures Headquarters' Task Force on Current Issues filed objections on the 8th with the Internet Election Reporting Deliberation Committee under the Central Election Commission regarding six articles that alleged candidate Lee had ties with organized crime during his tenure as mayor of Seongnam.
