[Asia Economy Reporter Na Ye-eun] Former lawmaker Son Hye-won requested that the member of the National Assembly representing the relevant district "sternly reprimand" the loose hanging of presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung's poster from the Democratic Party of Korea. The banner in question is known to have been produced by former lawmaker Son.

On the 15th, former lawmaker Son posted a photo of candidate Lee's banner design on her Facebook, saying, "It was resolved in just one day," and asked, "Please upload photos of the banners hung in your area."

Subsequently, netizens commented by attaching photos of presidential election banners hung in their respective areas. Among these, a photo taken at the entrance of the Okgok Five-Day Market in Gwangyang City, Jeollanam-do, became an issue. The string tying the banner was not taut, causing candidate Lee's face to appear slightly distorted.

Sharing the photo, former lawmaker Son said, "A banner hanging this loosely is entirely the responsibility of the local party chairperson or the member of the National Assembly," and added, "Please call the local National Assembly member's office right now and sternly reprimand them, saying how important this election is and how unacceptable it is to hang the banner so loosely."

She continued, "Also, please upload a photo of the same spot with the banner hung tightly and properly," adding, "Members of the National Assembly should always be kept on their toes and reprimanded by their constituents."

Meanwhile, it is reported that former lawmaker Son designed the posters (wall posters), banners, the first campaign vehicle, and the cover of campaign materials that candidate Lee will use during the official election campaign period.
