[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Juhyung] Some hardline supporters of Lee Jae-myung, Senior Advisor of the Democratic Party of Korea, are reportedly sharing a so-called 'list of lawmakers opposing prosecution and media reform' and taking collective action against those on the list. Regarding this, Democratic Party lawmaker Woo Sang-ho raised his voice, saying, "Act with accurate information."

On the 4th, Woo wrote on his Facebook, "I support the normalization of prosecution and media. There is a document circulating called the list of those opposing normalization of prosecution and media, and my name is on it, so I received many protest messages from our party supporters over the past weekend," he said.

He continued, "Let me make it clear that I support prosecution and media reform. I have never expressed opposition to this in any public setting," and emphasized, "I understand that other lawmakers listed as opposing also do not hold such positions."

He added, "Our party lawmakers are struggling a lot due to unintended criticism caused by an inaccurate list of unknown authors," and earnestly requested, "I understand the supporters' passion for important reform tasks in our society, but I sincerely ask you to act with accurate information."

The collective actions of some supporters are said to have started in Lee's fan cafe, 'Jaemyeongine Maeul.' Previously, a list of 'lawmakers opposing prosecution and media normalization' was created and distributed in this cafe.

Regarding this, one cafe member argued, "We should encourage supporting lawmakers, persuade opposing lawmakers, and urge those who are undecided," and afterward, netizens posted verification posts stating they sent text messages to the lawmakers on the list.

On the Democratic Party members' bulletin board, many posts urged the party to adopt prosecution and media normalization as the party's official stance at the party meeting, saying, "If prosecution and media normalization is not completed, the Democratic Party is finished."

Meanwhile, Lee's fan cafe 'Jaemyeongine Maeul' was established on the 10th of last month, just one day after the 20th presidential election voting. Currently, the cafe has over 180,000 members, and through online voting by members, Lee has been elected as the '1st Village Chief.'

Cafe members express their opinions to the Democratic Party through collective actions and engage in various activities such as 'popularity voting' for Democratic Party figures who could be helpful to Lee's future political path.

Lee himself also left a message in the cafe on the 2nd, expressing gratitude. At that time, he said, "I had many concerns, but since the decision was made through voting, I cannot refuse. I am very grateful for the warm, spring-like love from the village residents," and added, "I hope we all join hands to create a happy village like Dongmakgol. I deeply love all reform comrades, party members, and citizens."
