[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] On the 25th, the Justice Party demanded "President Moon Jae-in take stern measures" regarding the inclusion of Minister of Justice Park Beom-gye in the group chat for election campaigning of Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate.

Oh Hyun-joo, spokesperson for the campaign headquarters, stated in a written briefing that "(Minister Park's participation in the group chat) is a very serious issue concerning violations of election neutrality under Article 85 of the Public Official Election Act and Article 65 of the National Public Service Act. We express strong regret," emphasizing this point.

Spokesperson Oh criticized, "The Democratic Party campaign headquarters stated that 'Minister Park was invited without his consent and then withdrew,' but the fact that he recently withdrew from the group chat created during last year's Democratic Party primary is clearly an inappropriate action."

He continued, "It is unacceptable and should never happen that a government minister participates openly for several months in an online group chat supporting a specific candidate during the presidential election period," criticizing the situation.
