[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] The Democratic Party of Korea has decided to request an investigation after adult video clips were repeatedly posted in the SNS chat rooms used by the party's election campaign committee.

On the 21st, Go Yongjin, the chief spokesperson of the election campaign committee, stated in a briefing, "We will never tolerate criminal acts that defile public order and democracy in public spaces where election campaigns are conducted," adding, "We will immediately request an investigation into these malicious terrorist acts and strive to ensure that other parties do not suffer from such terrorist acts."

Earlier, on the 17th, the Democratic Party revealed that about ten adult video clips were suddenly posted and then deleted in a Telegram group chat where the election campaign committee's special advisory group was gathered the previous day.

At that time, the Democratic Party took action believing that someone mistakenly invited had posted advertising adult content, but similar incidents reportedly continued afterward.

Regarding this, Chief Spokesperson Go said about the background of posting adult content, "Through internal tracking and reports, it was identified as the act of members belonging to the 'X Cloud Bang'."

He continued, "They infiltrated a public chat room created for election campaigning and repeatedly posted illegal videos, including child sexual exploitation materials," emphasizing, "It is serious not only because of the horrific illegal videos that are unspeakable but also because the election campaign committee's chat room was deliberately targeted."

He added, "Despite real-time blocking of posters, they continued the attacks with other members joining in succession," and revealed, "Members of 'X Cloud Bang' boasted as if recounting heroic tales, sharing statements like 'Posted adult content in the election campaign committee's special advisory group room and immediately deleted it,' and 'Infiltrated and then got kicked out.'"
