On the 28th, Lee posted on his Facebook, "During the presidential election, they told the public to play freely and created a game, and because the game was poorly made with loopholes, they filed a complaint just because someone played around with the score rankings," expressing this view.

Park Min-young, spokesperson for the People Power Party, also posted on Facebook the same day, saying, "They act all hip with youth-friendly content, but when the younger generation responds in the most youthful way, they turn serious and flood with lawsuits and complaints. It's petty," and added, "Young people interpret attempts to muzzle them by applying 'such and such crimes' as an acknowledgment of defeat and high praise for the opponent."

Earlier, the Democratic Party's election campaign committee filed a complaint with the police, stating that since the launch of the promotional online video service (OTT) platform 'Jamming' in February during the presidential election, certain account owners had hacked into Jamming's computer network and manipulated game scores. The campaign committee claimed that the game corner on Jamming displayed the nicknames of top-ranked players, and the accused who manipulated the game scores used terms defaming Lee Jae-myung as their nicknames.

Looking at the nicknames of users ranked 1st to 10th at the time, many contained criticisms of Lee's spouse Kim Hye-kyung, mentioning allegations such as the private use of a corporate card, thereby attacking Lee's side.

Meanwhile, Mr. A, who used the ID 'Sarajin Chobap Shipinbun' and had even ranked first in the game, said on an online community, "I question whether this is something that warrants a raid," and added, "They subtly pressured me to write a statement and admit guilt, which was very confusing, so I said I would appear at the police station and handle it."
