Complaint for Violation of Personal Information Protection Act

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The May 18 Democratic Meritorious Persons filed a complaint alleging a violation of the Personal Information Protection Act regarding the special appointment letters sent under the name of Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate.

The May 18 Democratic Meritorious Persons held a press conference on the 4th and announced that they would submit a complaint, stating that personal information was used without consent and appointment letters were excessively issued for election purposes, damaging individuals' honor.

They stated, “The People Power Party illegally obtained the list of May 18 Democratic Meritorious Persons, causing serious damage to the dignity of the Gwangju region and the meritorious persons. Yoon, who shamelessly committed illegal and illicit acts to win the election, used a specific region, especially Gwangju, the sacred place of democratization, as an election strategy, which is unforgivable.”

They added, “We intend to file charges against those who illegally leaked the list and Yoon Seok-yeol of the People Power Party, who used the illegal list for the election, under the Public Official Election Act and the Personal Information Protection Act.”
