[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] An incident occurred in Jeju Island where election posters of Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, disappeared.

On the 26th, the People Power Party Jeju Provincial Party issued a statement reporting that citizens had reported to the police that Yoon's poster was missing from the election poster board in Samdo-dong, Jeju City, the previous afternoon. The provincial party stated, "We strongly condemn the repeated provocations against Yoon's promotional materials," and added, "Among the posters of about 10 presidential candidates, only Yoon's poster appears to have been deliberately removed by someone."

The provincial party criticized, "Damage to presidential candidate promotional materials, which is strictly prohibited by law, should never occur, but this is the third time in Jeju Island, making the seriousness of the issue very high." According to the provincial party, earlier in Jeju Island, on the 18th, Yoon's banner posted in an apartment complex in Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo City, completely disappeared, and on the 16th, Yoon's banner hung on a street in Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo City, was contaminated by a foreign substance thrown by someone.

Furthermore, the provincial party stated, "We cannot help but be shocked by the acts of damaging election promotional materials carried out in various ways across different areas such as Seogwipo City and Jeju City," and added, "It is truly deplorable and embarrassing that such irrational incidents are happening in Jeju." They also pointed out, "Damaging election promotional materials is not only a provocation against the affected political party but a clear provocation against democracy, the foundation of Korean society."

The provincial party expressed, "We expect prompt police investigation and definite results to prevent recurrence," and warned, "As the voting day approaches, who knows what rash acts someone might commit out of impatience." They also urged, "For the election, which determines the future of the Republic of Korea, to be conducted fairly, the playing field must not be tilted," calling for swift investigation and inquiry by the Election Commission and the police.
